[Flow] How does RestController update work under the hood?

[Robert Berghegger]

Hello,

i once had the same problem.
Bastian Waidelich gave me a good explanation back then:

http://forum.typo3.org/index.php?t=msg&th=199770&goto=696886&#msg_696886

Please try to configure an object-RoutePart for your 'Api-Article POST' 
Configuration in your Routes.yaml file.
It should look like this:

....
-
  name: 'Api - Article POST'
  uriPattern: 'api/article/{article}'
  defaults:
    '@package':    'Project.Api'
    '@controller': 'Article'
    '@action':     'index'
    '@format':     'json'
   routeParts:
     'article':
         objectType: 'Project\Api\Domain\Model\Article'


I hope this helps to solve your problem.

Kind regards,

Robert
