When I want to insert an object with a post request like laid out here http://wiki.eclipse.org/Texo/JSON_REST_Web_Services#Insert.2FUpdate_Operation I have to specify the json data. If the object gets a reference to an existing other object, how would I specify that other object?

Hi Micha-Jamie,
A reference should look something like this with the _uri (this example is a reference from a book to its author):
"author": {
"_uri": "http://localhost:8080/org.eclipse.emf.texo.web.example/jsonws/library|Writer/22#"
}

or you can try without the uri but with the _eclass and db_Id (the database id efeature of this example):

"author": {
"_eclass": "library|Writer",
"db_Id": 22
},

gr. Martin

ps: I am on holiday so therefore answers take a bit longer..
