Links and references
|
||
====================
|
||
|
||
Often resources need to refer to other resources. For example, when
|
||
creating a server, you must specify the image from which to build the
|
||
server. You can specify the image by providing an ID or a URL to a
|
||
remote image. When providing an ID, it is assumed that the resource
|
||
exists in the current OpenStack deployment.
|
||
|
||
**Example: ID image reference: JSON request**
|
||
|
||
.. code::
|
||
|
||
{
|
||
"server":{
|
||
"flavorRef":"http://openstack.example.com/openstack/flavors/1",
|
||
"imageRef":"http://openstack.example.com/openstack/images/70a599e0-31e7-49b7-b260-868f441e862b",

||

For convenience, resources contain links to themselves. This allows a
|
||
client to easily obtain rather than construct resource URIs. The
|
||
following types of link relations are associated with resources:
|
||
|
||
- A ``self`` link contains a versioned link to the resource. Use these
|
||
links when the link is followed immediately.
|
||
|
||
- A ``bookmark`` link provides a permanent link to a resource that is
|
||
appropriate for long term storage.
|
||
|
||
- An ``alternate`` link can contain an alternate representation of the
|
||
resource. For example, an OpenStack Compute image might have an
|
||
alternate representation in the OpenStack Image service.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: The ``type`` attribute provides a hint as to the type of
|
||
representation to expect when following the link.
|
||
|
||
**Example: Server with self links: JSON**
|
||
|
||
.. code::
|
||
|
||
{
|
||
"server":{
|
||
"id":"52415800-8b69-11e0-9b19-734fcece0043",
|
||
"name":"my-server",
|
||
"links":[
|
||
{
|
||
"rel":"self",
|
||
"href":"http://servers.api.openstack.org/v2.1/servers/52415800-8b69-11e0-9b19-734fcece0043"
|
||
},
|
||
{
|
||
"rel":"bookmark",
|
||
"href":"http://servers.api.openstack.org/servers/52415800-8b69-11e0-9b19-734fcece0043"
|
||
}
|
||
]
|
||
}
|
||
}
