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.

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/rest/tx:83e34464-144e-43d9-af13-b3464a1fb9b5/path/to/object/to/create"
curl -X DELETE "http://localhost:8080/rest/tx:83e34464-144e-43d9-af13-b3464a1fb9b5/path/to/resource/to/delete"
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/rest/tx:83e34464-144e-43d9-af13-b3464a1fb9b5/fcr:tx/fcr:commit"

Status:

  Created: if the transaction is created successfully

Save and commit an open transaction


Any operations you made within the scope of the transaction will be applied together, meaning if any of them fail, the whole transaction will fail.

Response:

Status: 204 No Content

 No Content: if the transaction is committed successfully

Gone: if the transaction doesn't exist

 

Rollback and close an open transaction

Example:

curl -i -X POST "http://localhost:8080/rest/tx:123456789/fcr:tx/fcr:rollback" 

Response:

Status: 204 No Content

Status:

 No Content: if the transaction is discarded successfully

Gone: if the transaction doesn't exist
