Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-1043) Clarify purpose of context URL
[ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1043?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Ralf Handl updated ODATA-1043: ------------------------------ Environment: Applied (was: Proposed) > Clarify purpose of context URL > ------------------------------ > > Key: ODATA-1043 > URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1043 > Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Protocol > Affects Versions: V4.01_CSD01 > Environment: Applied > Reporter: Ralf Handl > Fix For: V4.01_CSD02 > > > 1) Chapter 10 states: The context URL describes the content of the payload. It consists of the canonical metadata document URL and a fragment *identifying the relevant portion of the metadata document.* > This is somewhat violated by context urls using the template variable {entity} whose value is the canonical URL of an entity, including its key values - the key values aren't needed to identify the relevant portion of the metadata document, for this purpose the type is sufficient. > 2) Chapter 10 states: Request payloads generally do not require context URLs as the type of the payload can generally be determined from the request URL. > Can we have the same for response payloads? Most responses for requests to entity sets or singletons using canonical URLs would not need a context URL, same for navigation paths with a navigation property binding. Instances with a type derived from the declared type carry the @odata.type annotation, so even those don't need a context URL. Same for responses to actions/functions with an EntitySetPath, or action/function imports with a an EntitySet. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2.2#6258)
