+Question:+
NGSI update attributes from complex entities in Wirecloud

+Description:+
Is it possible to update a child attribute through the updateAttributes() function from Wirecloud NGSI API?

For example, a coordinate (entity.location.coords.coordinates[0]=-2.000000) in this piece of entity.

   "attrNames": [ "A1", "A2", "position" ],
   "creDate": 1389376081,
   "modDate": 1389376244,
   "location": {
       "attrName": "position",
       "coords": {
           "type": "Point",
           "coordinates": [ -3.691944, 40.418889 ]
       }




EDITED

My own answer: It is possible by passing an object as value of the attribute.

ngsi.updateAttributes([
                    {
                        'entity': {'id': "entity-id"},
                        'attributes':[{ 
                          "name":"location","contextValue": {
                               "attrName": "position",
                               "coords": {
                                     "type": "Point",
                                     "coordinates": [ -2.000000, 40.418889 ]
                               }
                          } 
                        }]  
                    }
                ], {
                    onSuccess: onUpdateAttributesSuccess,
                    onFailure: onUpdateAttributesFail
                }
            );


However, Wirecloud is using NGSI API v1, therefore all attributes are treated as strings when they are sent/received to/from Orion.
