Smarts EDAA device creation payload
Hello,
I'm starting to do some automation using the Smarts 9.4 EDAA. According to the EDAA Programmer Guide, to create a device, you simply POST a device payload to /types/$device/instances. However, the only information I can find about the payload is that "Name" is required. I've tried posting various payloads to the server, but always get "DMT createInstance Name not specified" which goes back to "Name" being required. Does anybody know what the payload is supposed to look like or know of a document that has this information?
Thanks.

Alright, still no good.
Super simply, here is what I am doing:
var payload = " myRouter ";
var url = "http://www.blah.com:8080/smarts-edaa/msa/SAM/types/Router/instances";
var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlHttp.open("POST", url, false);
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/xml");
xmlHttp.send(payload);
console.log(xmlHttp.responseText);
And the response I can gettting is:
Msa Internal Server Error. Reason: DMT createInstance Name not specified. Caused by: Internal MSA error
Any thoughts?
