Basic bundle transaction

Oracle FHIR transaction bundle has a few important elements.

• Bundle.type: This value specifies the processing mode (transaction or batch).
• Bundle.entry: This is an array. Each repetition of the this array contains a single interaction, and is the equivalent to a single HTTP REST interaction.
• Bundle.entry.request: The standard HTTP REST parameters (i.e. the verb, the request URL, and the request headers) are communicated in the element Bundle.entry.request.
• Bundle.entry.resource: Interactions which accept a resource as the payload body (such as create and update) place the payload in the element Bundle.entry.resource.
• Bundle.entry.fullUrl: An additional element in each entry has a full URL or URI associated with the entry, in the element Bundle.entry.fullUrl.

Sample FHIR bundle transaction. In this example, the fullUrl is a randomly generated UUID.
