[NETCONF-221] ControllerContext#addKeyValue ignores key type when key is derived type from instance-identifier

Fri, 15 Mar 2019 22:22:26 +0000

The ovsdb.yang model includes:
…
typedef ovsdb-bridge-ref

{ description "A reference to an ovsdb bridge"; type instance-identifier; }

…
list managed-node-entry {
key "bridge-ref";
leaf bridge-ref

{ type ovsdb-bridge-ref; }

}
…

Using the md-sal apidocs explorer, I enter the following for doing a GET on managed-node-entry with a bridge-ref key value:

topology-id: ovsdb:1
node-id: ovsdb:HOST1
bridge-ref: /network-topology:network-topology/network-topology:topology[network-topology:topology-id='ovsdb:1']/network-topology:node[network-topology:node-id='ovsdb:HOST1/bridge/br-test']

This is what the resulting request URL looks like:
http://localhost:8181/restconf/config/network-topology:network-topology/topology/ovsdb%3A1/node/ovsdb%3AHOST1/ovsdb:managed-node-entry/%2Fnetwork-topology%3Anetwork-topology%2Fnetwork-topology%3Atopology%5Bnetwork-topology%3Atopology-id%3D'ovsdb%3A1'%5D%2Fnetwork-topology%3Anode%5Bnetwork-topology%3Anode-id%3D'ovsdb%3AHOST1%2Fbridge%2Fbr-test'%5D/

The response code to the request is 400 and the response body is
{
"errors": {
"error": [

{ "error-type": "protocol", "error-tag": "invalid-value", "error-message": "/network-topology:network-topology/network-topology:topology[network-topology:topology-id='ovsdb:1']/network-topology:node[network-topology:node-id='ovsdb:HOST1/bridge/br-test'] from URI can't be resolved. " }

]
}
}

The ODL log prints out this INFO message:
2016-06-14 02:29:14,973 | INFO | qtp810954400-800 | RestCodec$ObjectCodec | 238 - org.opendaylight.netconf.sal-rest-connector - 1.4.0.SNAPSHOT | Value is not instance of InstanceIdentifierTypeDefinition but is class java.lang.String. Therefore NULL is used as translation of - /network-topology:network-topology/network-topology:topology[network-topology:topology-id='ovsdb:1']/network-topology:node[network-topology:node-id='ovsdb:HOST1/bridge/br-test']
