Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-887) Should we allow multi-part namespace alias names?
[ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-887?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=61378#comment-61378 ] Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-887: ------------------------------------- May have to do in V4.01. Investigate XML; would aliases containing a dot break our CSDL or ATOM payload format? > Should we allow multi-part namespace alias names? > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ODATA-887 > URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-887 > Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Components: OData CSDL > Affects Versions: V4.0_ERRATA02 > Environment: [Proposed] > Reporter: Michael Pizzo > Fix For: V4.01_WD01, V4.0_ERRATA03 > > > Currently namespace aliases are defined as simple identifiers, while namespaces can (but are not required to) be multi-part. > Unclear why there is this distinction; it's not possible to tell from a single-part name whether the name references a namespace or an alias, so why prohibit multi-part names (i.e., names containing a dot (".")) in aliases? > There are scenarios where a namespace is long that an application may want to use a shorter name but still represent some level of hierarchy in the naming scheme. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2.2#6258)
