Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-263) Remove $select=*
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-263?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=32601#action_32601 ] Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-263: ------------------------------------- But the (existing) rules you cite do give me an easy way not to select only properties of the type, but not navigation properties or actions/functions. According to the existing rules: ~Customers?$select=* returns properties of the Customer, but does NOT return actions/functions, and ~Customers?$select=*&$expand=Orders returns properties of the Customer, but does NOT return actions/functions or Orders where-as just ~Customers with no $select would return the navigation properties and actions/functions along with the properties so if we get rid of select=* there's no way to select regular properties but not include navigation properties and actions/functions. I would be okay saying that select=* returned properties and navigation properties, but excluded actions/functions, or we could define a different way to exclude actions/functions. > Remove $select=* > ---------------- > > Key: ODATA-263 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-263 > Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: OData ABNF Construction Rules, OData URL Conventions > Affects Versions: V4.0_WD01 > Environment: [Proposed] > Reporter: Ralf Handl > Fix For: V4.0_WD01 > > > The URL conventions state that > If the selectItem is a star, then all properties and navigation properties on the matching resources MUST be returned. > This conflicts with the JSON format which by default does not return navigation properties and only includes them when odata.metadata=full is requested. > The recent enhancements to $expand which allows nesting e.g. a $select further reduces the need for $select=*, so it's best to remove it altogether. -- 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
