What are (if there are) the best practices for returning objects on CRUD operations. In my case, for Java.
For example, for CREATE I supose to return the object, its ID…?
create – created object. I know, I know it’s typically the same object, but it’s both convenient and elegant.
update – also return the same object. In some frameworks like JPA updated object can be a different instance then the one provided.
restore – obviously the object you want to restore. If you are restoring a list, consider implementing paging – taking offset/max and returning list wrapped in a
Pageobject with some extra metadata like the total number of entries.delete – there is nothing to return here,
void.
