Hi,

for now but I will include it in the 1.1.0 release.

> Support metadata:type attribute in Entity Properties
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OLINGO-121
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OLINGO-121
> Project: Olingo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: odata2-core
> Affects Versions: V2 1.0.0
> Reporter: M Carissimi
> Assignee: Christian Amend
> Fix For: V2 1.1.0
>
>
> Certain OData consumers (i.e. PowerPivot for Microsfot Excel) require that
> the metadata:type attribute is set for all Property values in an Entry, for
> example:
> {code}
> <entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";
> xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata";
> xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices";
> xml:base="http://localhost/odata/resourcenolinks.svc/";>
> ...
> <content type="application/xml">
> <m:properties>
> <d:FROM_DATE
> m:type="Edm.DateTime">2013-07-01T00:00:00</d:FROM_DATE>
> <d:TO_DATE m:type="Edm.DateTime" m:null="true"/>
> <d:IS_ACTIVE m:type="Edm.Boolean">true</d:IS_ACTIVE>
> <d:ORGANISATION>EnergySys Support</d:ORGANISATION>
> <d:ORDER_NUMBER m:type="Edm.Int32">2</d:ORDER_NUMBER>
> </m:properties>
> </content>
> </entry>
> {code}
> The Olingo library does not specify the metadata:type attribute for
> properties and this means that software relying on that property can't
> correctly consume data generated with Olingo.
> This library should support a way to set the metadata:type attribute for
> properties. This could be done by allowing the producer to explicitly set the
> type for each property (as done in odata4j) or it could be automatically
> added by using the type definition in the EntityType associated with the data.
> This enhancement has been raised following discussion with Michael Boltz (see
> OLINGO-118 for details)
