DNG How to set State to artifact via OSLC - java
One answer
I don't know about DNG, but for RTC you can not set the value for the state attribute in OSLC. You can only set an action which will cause the state change to happen.
https://www.google.com/search?q=OSCL+change+state+site%3Ajazz.net provides a whole host of questions and answers. I was once able to locate a page in the Wiki that explained this a little more, but I don't have the link handy. I am sure it was in one of the answers I browsed back then.
