Currently after multiple data trees are stored in CPS DB. On performing the GET operation on the same data, with xpath set as root "/", the first data tree is returned by the Get Data Node API. This data tree is returned in form of a JSON Object as follows:

• CURL Request to get all data nodes under an anchor:

curl --location 'http://localhost:8080/cps/api/v1/dataspaces/testDataspace/anchors/sample/node?xpath=%2F' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic Y3BzdXNlcjpjcHNyMGNrcyE='

• Response:

{
        "multiple-data-tree:first-container": {
            "a-leaf": "a-Value"
        }
}

• CURL Request to get individual data tree(with xPath= /first-container) under an anchor:

curl --location 'http://localhost:8080/cps/api/v1/dataspaces/testDataspace/anchors/multipleDataTree/node?xpath=%2Ffirst-container' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic Y3BzdXNlcjpjcHNyMGNrcyE='

• Response:

{
        "multiple-data-tree:first-container": {
            "a-leaf": "a-Value"
        }
}

• CURL Request to get individual data tree(with xPath= /last-container) under an anchor:

curl --location 'http://localhost:8080/cps/api/v1/dataspaces/testDataspace/anchors/sample/node?xpath=%2Flast-container' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic Y3BzdXNlcjpjcHNyMGNrcyE='

• Response:

{
    "multiple-data-tree:last-container": {
        "x-leaf": "x-value"
    }
}

Expected Outcome

After the GET API is updated, we want all the data trees to be returned when the xpath is set to root "/" and when a specific xpath is provided we want the functionality to remain as is.

...

1. Data returned as a

   #decision #decision

   JSON array, with the array containing individual data trees (This approach was finalized to be implemented in V2 of get API)

   Code Block
   title Get all the data trees in a JSON Array collapse true
   //JSON Array [ { "multiple-data-tree:first-container": { //Data Tree 1 "a-leaf": "a-Value" } }, { "multiple-data-tree:last-container": { //Data Tree 2 "x-leaf": "x-value" } } ]

   
   

2. Data Returned as a JSON object, with all data trees in a single object

   Code Block
   title Get all the data trees as JSON Objects collapse true
   { "multiple-data-tree:first-container": { "a-leaf": "a-Value" }, "multiple-data-tree:last-container": { "x-leaf": "x-value" } }

   
   

Impact on CPS-NCMP_DMI plugin

Anchor
ncmpPlugin ncmpPlugin

The CPS NCMP DMI plugin internally calls the getDataNode method in order to fetch the configuration data for NCMP-DMI plugin, As of now it expects only a single DataNode to be returned by the getDataNode method and with the updated GET API we are now getting a collection of one or more data nodes from the getDtaNode method.

A couple of things to be checked here are:

• Will there be any Impact of multiple data nodes on the functionality of NCMP plugin
• Appropriate approach to bring in support for multiple data nodes into NCMP
