Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-481) Annotation/Navigation/Path expressions: allow paths to continue after multi-valued navigation to e.g. drill into complex properties
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-481?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=34779#action_34779 ]
Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-481:
----------------------------------
We definitely need several multi-valued navigation segments: all the products ordered by all my customers are My/Customers/Orders/Items/Product - two multi-valued navigations away from me.
We can argue whether this identifies a collection produced by concatenating several collections, with identical entities occuring several times, or whether it identifies a set, where each identity appears at most once.
I'm fine with both: the "collection/concatenation" definition would be more consistent with complex and primitive instances that don't have an identity, and it would require the "annotation consumer" on top of a generic "annotation library" to remove duplicates if they are not wanted.

> Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: OData CSDL
> Affects Versions: V4.0_CS01
> Environment: [Proposed][CS02]
> Reporter: Ralf Handl
> Fix For: V4.0_CSD03

>
> CSDL 14.5.12 restricts path expressions to contain at most one multi-valued navigation property which can only be followed by a single type cast or term cast.
> This is overly restrictive: drilling into a complex type path after a navigation is straight-forward, and even multiple multi-valued navigations could be resolved by building the union of all targeted collections.
