Comments on: Using PUT and DELETE methods in AJAX requests with prototype.js http://dobrzanski.net/2007/04/22/using-put-and-delete-methods-in-ajax-requesta-with-prototypejs/ Jarosław Dobrzański's technical blog Sun, 07 Mar 2010 03:39:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Gabe da Silveira http://dobrzanski.net/2007/04/22/using-put-and-delete-methods-in-ajax-requesta-with-prototypejs/comment-page-1/#comment-24582 Gabe da Silveira Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:42:17 +0000 http://dobrzanski.net/2007/04/22/using-put-and-delete-methods-in-ajax-requesta-with-prototypejs/#comment-24582 There is a detail here that is incorrect. POST is for creating new resources elements and PUT is for creating or updating. The key difference is that PUT should be idempotent while POST is not. So PUTing the same thing twice should not result in a different state, whereas POSTing the same thing may create multiple entries (or it may not, but nothing in the HTTP stack should assume it doesn't).

Could you provide some example code for REST service which processes PUT requests. I made it this way but it doesn't work. Tomcat returns HTTP error 405. (I use FF2.) @PUT @Path("/book/{id}") public void updateBook(@PathParam("id") Integer id, @QueryParam("name") String name) { bookMap.put(id,name); } Thanks. Hello Filip!

@PUT
@Path(“/book/{id}”)
public void updateBook(@PathParam(“id”) Integer id, @QueryParam(“name”) String name) {
bookMap.put(id,name);
}

Thanks.
