Topic: HAPI FHIR JPA Server

I've probably missed something simple here but I'm using the HAPI FHIR Jpaserver and it works great in most ways but if I try to force an ID it silently ignores me. So if I add a patient resource using the CRUD console with no ID it will allocate me the next way - say "id": "4",. If on the other hand I put an ID in the ID field ... it still just allocates me the next one e.g. "id": "5", I've tried using simple Ids "1000001" and using a context "Patient/1000001" with no effect.

The Create operation uses POST, which creates an ID. Try using Update operation, which uses PUT and you can specify the ID.
FYI, this should go in the HAPI stream.

Thanks Chris - I'll try that though the screen text could do with updating if that's the case. I'll use the HAPI stream for any more on this.

You're welcome Nick =). HAPI is following the FHIR Update standard:

See the last paragraph starting with "Note".
