Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Updated: (ODATA-225) Define Functions in Schema; reference in Container using FunctionImport.
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-225?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Ralf Handl updated ODATA-225: ----------------------------- Proposal: -Define a <Function> element used to define the shape of a function in the schema. The function definition defines parameters, return values, and may specify an entitysetpath. -Functions defined in the model are available for use by referencing the model. You do not need to "import them" into your container -The only time you use a functionimport is if you want to expose a function as a top-level function in your entitycontainer, or bind a function to a specific entityset in your entitycontainer. Note that, if the return set is relative to the input set you can define this in the entitysetpath in the <Function> definition of the model, then you don't need to import it unless you want to expose it as a top-level function. -The FunctionImport always references a <Function> defined in the schema (similar to how an EntitySet always references an EntityType defined in the schema) -Functions should be bindable to primitive or complex types (or sets of primitive or complex types) in addition to entities/sets of entities.
