Christian Amend commented on OLINGO-121:
----------------------------------------
HI Miki,
the functionality should also work for the feed case. I have a junit test for
that which works fine.
When you call writeFeed at our EntityProvider you also have to pass the
EntityProviderWriteProperties where this field is set. So could it be that you
missed that?
Best Regards,
Christian
> 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)
