TS-0004 :There are no procedures for the "nodeLink" attribute on CREATE
Various resources (<AE>, <CSEBase>, <remoteCSE>, <flexContainer>) define the nodeLink attribute. Though this attribute is always optional it is not specified in TS-0004 (in the resp. CREATE procedures) how this attribute is handled. For example:
- What is the procedure if the referenced <node> resource does not exist?
- Must the <node> resource be accessible by the originator of the CREATE request?
- Is the resource ID in this attribute converted to unstructured format if the original ID is in structured format?
My opinion:
- The <AE>'s CREATE request shall fail with BAD REQUEST.
- No. It might be that the AE originator does not have access to the <node> resource.
- Yes.
