/**
* RestView that supports accepting input and creating a resource.
*
* The input must be supplied as JSON as the body of the HTTP request. Create views can be
* invoked by the HTTP methods {@code PUT} and {@code POST}.
*
*
The RestCreateView is only invoked when the parse method of the {@code RestCollection} throws
* {@link ResourceNotFoundException}, and hence the resource doesn't exist yet.
*
* @param
type of the parent resource
* @param type of the child resource that is created
* @param type of input the JSON parser will parse the input into.

/**
* Process the view operation by creating the resource.
*
* The returned response defines the status code that is returned to the client. For
* RestCollectionCreateViews this is usually {@code 201 Created} because a resource is created,
* but other 2XX or 3XX status codes are also possible (e.g. {@link Response.Redirect} can be
* returned for {@code 302 Found}).
*
*
The value of the returned response is automatically converted to JSON unless it is a {@link
* BinaryResult}.
*
*
Throwing a subclass of {@link RestApiException} results in a 4XX response to the client. For
* any other exception the client will get a {@code 500 Internal Server Error} response.
*
* @param parentResource parent resource of the resource that should be created
* @param id the ID of the child resource that should be created
* @param input input after parsing from request.
* @return response to return to the client
* @throws RestApiException if the resource creation is rejected
* @throws Exception the implementation of the view failed. The exception will be logged and HTTP
* 500 Internal Server Error will be returned to the client.
