mergeExistingArrayProperties

public static com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.ObjectNode mergeExistingArrayProperties(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.ObjectNode propertiesToSave,
                                                                                          com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.ObjectNode existingResourceProperties)

Given a set of properties to save, this will update each array property in that set with the items from the same array in the given existingResourceProperties object, if the array property exists in that object.

The intent behind calling this method is typically to not lose any items in an array property of the existing resource. That's because the Manage API will always overwrite array properties with the array that is sent to it. Thus, if you know that the array you're sending doesn't have all the existing items and you don't want to lose any of those items, call this method.

Parameters:

propertiesToSave - a set of resource properties that will be persisted via the Manage API

existingResourceProperties - the existing properties of the resource that will be updated

Returns:

the set of resource properties to save, where each array property has the contents of the existing array property (if it exists) merged into it
