Topic: Response for CREATE, UPDATE operations

Rob Resendez (Sep 20 2017 at 18:26):

Are create, update operations supposed to return the resource created/updated as the response? The spec mentioned that operationOutcome is to be used for errors... in comparing that to the summary table (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/http.html#summary), the response body is detailed as "Resource".

For example, if an "Observation" is posted... should an "Observation" be returned?

Thanks

For CREATE, at least the server has to return the location and versioning of newly created resource. The body is optional.

if there's an error, the response is always an OperationOutcome

Grahame Grieve (Sep 20 2017 at 23:27):

if the operation succeeds, then by default the response contains the resource actually created, or nothing. but the client can ask for something different - see http://hl7.org/fhir/http.html#2.21.0.5.2
