[Xorp-hackers] %update command not always being called

[Uri Yanai]

Hi

I am A new XORP (using a git clone from Fri Oct 29 2010) user and trying to write my own target module

I have noticed that the %update command (in my case replace_rule(...)) isn't always called.
When I modify param1 and also one of params2-4 and then call commit XORP sometimes ignores
the  %update command.

For example it will call

set_rule_param2(...)
activate_rule(...)

And not

set_rule_param2(...)
replace_rule(...)

The followings is the template file I am using

something_ something {
        rule @: u32 {
                param1:   u32;
                param2:    txt;
                param3:  ipv4;
                param4:  u32;
        }
}

packet_classif {
        %help:          short   "N/A";
        %modinfo:       provides something;
        %modinfo:       default_targetname "something";

        rule @: u32 {
                %help:          short   "N/A";
                %mandatory:     $(@.param1);

                %create:        xrl "something/something/0.1/add_rule?rule:u32=$(@)&param1:u32=$(@.param1)";
                %update:        xrl "something/something/0.1/replace_rule?rule:u32=$(@)&param1:u32=$(@.param1)";
                %activate:      xrl "something/something/0.1/activate_rule?rule:u32=$(@)";
                %delete:        xrl "something/something/0.1/delete_rule?rule:u32=$(@)";

                param1 {
                        %help:  short "N/A";
                        %allow-range: $(@) "0" "64" %help: "N/A";
                }

                param2 {
                        %help:  short "N/A";
                        %set:   xrl "something/something/0.1/set_rule_param2?rule:u32=$(rule.@)&param2:txt=$(@)";
                }

                param3 {
                        %help:  short "N/A";
                        %set:   xrl "something/something/0.1/set_rule_param3?rule:u32=$(rule.@)&param3:ipv4=$(@)";
                }

                param4 {
                        %help:  short "N/A";
                        %allow-range: $(@) "0" "32" %help: "N/A";
                        %set:   xrl "something/something/0.1/set_rule_param4?rule:u32=$(rule.@)&param4:u32=$(@)";
                }
}

What Am I doing wrong ?

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks
Uri
