Set Titles and Descriptions

Portal Model REST services allow us to set titles and descriptions.

To set titles and descriptions of a resource, take the following steps:

Obtain the URI of resource for which to modify titles and descriptions.
Perform an HTTP PUT request to the URL that you obtained by the previous step, with a feed in the message bodcontaining titles and descriptions to set.
Check for response 200 OK from the server.

Please note that we can use the update modes merge or replace:

If we use the merge update mode, we can specifiy only the titles and descriptions to modify.
If we use the replace update mode, specify the complete entry of the resource, including the titles and descriptions to modify.

Example: Feed to modify titles and description for a content node:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<atom:feed xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"             xml:base="http://wps128.boeblingen.de.ibm.com:10040/wps/mycontenthandler"             xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0"             xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"             xmlns:portal="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/websphere/portal/v6.0.1/portal-model"                xmlns:model="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/websphere/portal/v6.0.1/portal-model-elements"              xmlns:base="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/websphere/portal/v6.0/ibm-portal-composite-base">
