Issues with update url

CanJS

So I have nested models inside each other. Whenever it posts back to the server the url is /metadata. Any Ideas?

P.Model('Product', {
findOne : 'GET /product/{hash}',
update : 'POST /product/{hash}'
}, {
setup : function() {
can.Model.prototype.setup.apply( this, arguments );
this.meta = Product.Metadata.model( this.meta.serialize() );
}
});
P.Model('Product.Metadata', {
attributes : {
cast : 'P.Model.List'
},
update : "/product/save-meta/"
}, {});

Thanks!

If you are POSTing back to the server that means you are creating a new model instance which requires a URL for create. If it is absent (like in your code), Can.Model tries to guess at the URL using the name of the model (metadata)

so i changed to the following, after looking at the docs

update : "PUT /product/save-meta/"

Same result

From your original post it seems like you are creating a new instance so you need to add a create URL to your model. Like I said before, can.Model will use the model's name to guess the URLs if you don't specify them. In your case all you ahve specified is an update URL which is only used if the instance already exists (has an id attribute).

Your model should look like this:

P.Model('Product.Metadata', {
attributes : {
cast : 'P.Model.List'
},
update : "/product/save-meta/",
create: "/product/save-meta/"
}, {});
