Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-254) Selection of individual properties in [ATOM] should not include property name
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-254?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=32571#action_32571 ] Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-254: ---------------------------------- Using metadata:type and metadata:null attributes within an metadata:value element feels odd, and we already use a local attribute "type" for the metadata:annotation element, so I defined the metadata:value element with local attributes "type" and "null": <!-- payload format for property value responses --> <xs:element name="value"> <xs:complexType mixed="true"> <xs:sequence> <xs:any namespace="http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/ns/data" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" /> </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute name="type" type="edm:TPropertyType" /> <xs:attribute name="null" type="xs:boolean" /> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> Looking at how collections of primitive or complex scalar values are now represented, it feels extremely odd that the "element" element is "defined" in the (probably forever) schema-less "data" namespace instead of also being defined in the metadata namespace like its siblings metadata:annotation and metadata:value. > Selection of individual properties in [ATOM] should not include property name > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ODATA-254 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-254 > Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Components: OData ATOM Format > Affects Versions: V4.0_WD01 > Environment: [Proposed] > Reporter: Michael Pizzo > Fix For: V4.0_WD01 > > > Currently, the example in Section 10 of [ATOM] implies that when selecting a single property (i.e., ~Customers('ALFKI')/FirstName), the payload would contain the name of the property in the d: namespace: > <Title xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices">CEO<Title> > This implies that what is represented is a property with a given name, which is not the case; what should be represented is the *value* of the property, which is independent of the property itself (and can thus be used, for example, in passing as a parameter to an action). This is also inconsistent with how a function that returns a single property is represented, and is inconsistent with the JSON format (which represents this as a name/value pair with the name "value"). > We should specify that an individual property is serialized in ATOM as an element named "value" in the odata metadata namespace. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
