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

     [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-374?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Pizzo updated ODATA-374:
--------------------------------

       Proposal: I believe that, as described by Ralf, the Edm.EntityType and Edm.ComplexType types we added in V4 address this requirement and we can close with no action.
    Environment: [Proposed]
       Assignee: Anila Kumar GVN

Anila; please let us know if Ralf description does not address your concerns.

> It is not clear if OData enables a service to return a collection of heterogenous entity/complex types as a response to a function call. 
> I want to return a collection of types in response to a function call but each of the items in the collection could belong to different entity types.
> Example:
> /OData.svc/GetCreatedEntities?before=xxxx-xx-xx&after=xxxx-xx-xx
> here GetCreatedEntities is a function call on my product that return a collection of entities that are Created in a given time period. Return Type is a Collection Type that could contain a Customer type, Order type etc.
> Is it supported in OData?
