Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Updated: (ODATA-156) Describe behavior when accessing related entities


     [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-156?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ralf Handl updated ODATA-156:
-----------------------------

    Proposal: 
Add subsection "Requesting Related Entities" to section 10.2 describing the behavior when following navigation properties:
- following a to-many relationship will always result in a feed document. The feed is empty if no entities are actually related
- following a to-one relationship will always result in an entity document
- following a to-zero-or-one relationship will result in an entity document if something is related, and a 204 No Content response if nothing is related

Extend subsection 10.2.4 Requesting $links between Entities:
If the navigation property has cardinality zero-or-one and no entity is associated, the service SHOULD return 404 Not Found.

For the case of a zero-to-one relation that currently points to nothing it might be worth describing the subtle difference between accessing the related entity itself (204 No Content = it is empty) and accessing the link to the related entity (404 Not Found = it does not exist).
