[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-986) Support POST to cast segment following a collection

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

     [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-986?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Pizzo updated ODATA-986:
--------------------------------

    Proposal: 
Support posting/deleting to a type cast segment following a collection. 

For Post, the payload must be an instance of the type specified by the cast segment (or a type derived from the type specified by the cast segment) and does not require the @odata.type attribute unless it is of a derived type of the type specified in the type cast segment.

For PATCH/DELETE, only those instances matching or derived from the cast segment are updated/deleted.

  was:Support posting to a type cast segment following a collection. The payload must be an instance of the type specified by the cast segment (or a type derived from the type specified by the cast segment) and does not require the @odata.type attribute unless it is of a derived type of the type specified in the type cast segment.

>          Components: OData Protocol, OData URL Conventions
>    Affects Versions: V4.0_ERRATA03
>         Environment: [Proposed]
>            Reporter: Michael Pizzo
>             Fix For: V4.01_WD01

> Today we support:
>     GET ~Employees/ns.Manager
> in order to retrieve only those employees from the Employees entity set that are managers.
> It would be consistent to support:
>     POST ~Employees/ns.Manager
> To add a manager to the Employees entity set without having to specify in the payload that the employee was an @odata.type=ns.Manager
> This would be particularly useful in cases where the cast segment specified a "marker type" that was trivially derived from the collection type.
