POST Create a new transaction
After retrieving a transaction resource, the client can execute any REST API method prefixed by the transaction location.
Transactions are automatically closed and rolled back after 3 minutes of inactivity. Transactions can be refreshed by POSTing to /rest/{tx:id}/fcr:tx
Example:
curl -i -X POST "http://localhost:8080/rest/fcr:tx"
Response:
Status: 201 Created Headers: Location: http://localhost:8080/rest/tx:83e34464-144e-43d9-af13-b3464a1fb9b5 Expires: Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:32:57 GMT
Usage:
When a transaction has been created, it will return a Location header. Use this location as the base URL for performing REST API operations within the transaction. When you are done with the transaction, either append "/fcr:tx/fcr:commit" to commit the transaction to the repository or "/fcr:tx/fcr:rollback" to discard the changes.
