Failed to Batch-Update a map

[JZarzuela]

Hi,

I've been looking for an anwser for the following issue without luck:

I'm able to update any FeatureEntry of my maps using "regular" update calls (mapService.update(featureEditUrl, featureEntry)). And I'm able to insert new entries with batch calls too. But, it fails when I try to update them in a batch call.

The response is always "OK" but the content is left unchanged.

Any help would appreciated.

Thanks

Can you post an example of the batch command you're sending, and the
URL you're sending it to?

Are the per-entry responses OK as well? A batch POST should always
return overall success, with per-entry responses as part of the
response.

I have created a public map called "test-map" to test this. I'm using a Java class to create the test. The method's code is at the end of this response.

The return code, overall and for every entry is "success". But the map and POIs remain unchanged.

Note: I know that there are specific methods for getting "URLs" but I checked that they are what I'm using in the test.
