Creating a content item from a skeleton
A "skeleton" representation of a content item that is created from a content template can be obtained to aid in the creation of content items. This can be obtained by using a GET request to the following URI. When the skeleton is obtained and completed a POST request can be made by using this data to create the item: /ContentTemplate/template-uuid/new-content.
For example:
HTTP/1.1 GET http://host:port/wps/mycontenthandler/wcmrest/ContentTemplate/b7b8b3fb-8fa1-4eb3-915e-ce7514f7067f/new-content
Response
200 OK
