Hi all,
I have reached a fair stable point for merging ODataJClient's Metadata
parsing into olingo-odata4 (in the 'olingo169' GIT branch): now metadata
parsing works either for V3 and V4 (few unit tests have been added in
olingo-odata4-client-core ).
At this point I have two main concerns before considering the work for
OLINGO-169 completed (and consequently merge olingo169 into master):
1. types
EdmType [1] is an interface (with concrete implementations available for
V3 and V4) whose main purpose is parsing type expressions (like as
'Collection(ODataDemo.Product)') into a meaningful representation, e.g.
EdmSimpleType [2], EnumType [3], ComplexType [4] or EntityType [5] and
also to provide other useful information (is this a collection? does it
have a base type?).
I am sure that this duplicates something else in odata-olingo4. but I
need some guidance about how to replace [1][2][3][4][5]. Also, I suppose
that a better location for such items is olingo-odata4-commons-api
rather than olingo-odata4-client-api (where they reside ATM).
Who would like to volunteer?
2. Edm interfaces
olingo-odata4-commons-api holds in [6] the current set of Edm interfaces
implemented server-side whilst I have temporarily put the set of Edm
interfaces implemented client-side in olingo-odata4-client-api's [7]
(and subpackages).
Again, I need to understand how to reconcile and consolidate these two
sets (into olingo-odata4-commons-api of course), but there are several
aspects I don't understand:
(a) what is the purpose of *Info interfaces (like as
EdmEntitySetInfo)? what's the usage difference with EdmEntitySet?
(b) is the set from [6] still to be completed?
(c) would it be fine to put in [6] the merge with all interfaces from
[7], including V3's or is it better to keep V3's in
olingo-odata4-client-api?
Thanks for your support.
Regards.
