The server takes the composition resource, locates all the referenced resources and other additional resources as configured or requested and either returns a full document bundle, or returns an error. Note that since this is a search operation, the document bundle is wrapped inside the search bundle. If some of the resources are located on other servers, it is at the discretion of the server whether to retrieve them or return an error. If the correct version of the document that would be generated already exists, then the server can return the existing one."/> <status value="draft"/> <date value="2015-02-23T09:07:27+11:00"/> <kind value="operation"/> <code value="document"/> <system value="false"/> <type value="Composition"/> <instance value="false"/> <parameter> <name value="persist"/> <use value="in"/> <min value="0"/> <max value="1"/> <documentation value="Whether to store the document at the document end-point (/Document) or not once it is generated.

Usage note: every effort has been made to ensure that the examples are correct and useful, but they are not a normative part of the specification.
