Batch Service Request for RESTful Content Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing content management systems lack a comprehensive batch capability in RESTful services, which limits their ability to efficiently execute multiple content management operations and handle transactional, error handling, and binary transfer options effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for implementing multiple content management service operations by sending batch service requests and receiving responses, which aggregate multiple operations into a single batch, supporting transactional, synchronous, and asynchronous modes, and enabling binary upload and download, even in systems without built-in batch capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple content management operations are executed separately, then each operation can be handled individually, but communication overhead increases and service efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple content management operations into a single batch request that can be processed together. The batch resource aggregates multiple operation requests (such as create, read, update, delete operations on content items) into one unified request structure, allowing the server to handle them in a single transaction cycle. This merging eliminates the need for separate HTTP requests for each operation, thereby reducing communication overhead and improving service efficiency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If batch capability is added to existing content management systems, then multiple operations can be aggregated, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The batch resource is designed as a universal interface that can handle multiple types of content management operations (create, read, update, delete) on multiple content items simultaneously. Rather than creating separate batch processing mechanisms for different operation types, this single batch resource provides multi-functional capability that works across all content management scenarios, thereby adding versatility without proportionally increasing system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The batch resource acts as an intermediary layer between the client and the individual content management operations. The client interacts with the batch resource to submit aggregated operations, and the batch resource mediates by distributing these operations to the appropriate content management handlers. This intermediary approach allows batch processing capability to be added without fundamentally restructuring the existing content management system architecture.
3Reliability
If transactional and error handling options are implemented in batch operations, then reliability improves, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The batch request structure includes predefined transactional and error handling options that are configured in advance before the operations are executed. Clients can specify transaction boundaries, rollback conditions, and error handling preferences (such as continue on error or fail fast) as part of the batch request metadata. This preliminary configuration allows the system to automatically manage transaction reliability and error handling without requiring complex runtime decision-making or additional operational complexity during execution.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose an apparatus and a method for implementing multiple content management service operations by sending a batch service request for a batch, wherein the batch comprises multiple content management service operations; and receiving a batch service response, wherein the batch service response indicates at least one of a state of the batch and a result from executing the batch.
