             Summary: Support Functions with /$each and define the representation for collection-valued actions and functions with /$each
                 Key: ODATA-1074
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1074
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JSON Format, Protocol, URL Conventions
    Affects Versions: V4.01_CSD02
         Environment: [Proposed]
            Reporter: Michael Pizzo
             Fix For: V4.01_CSD02


Since we added the support to use /$each with actions, we have to define what the result looks like.  It seems reasonable that the result is an array of action results.  What, then, is the shape of the result if the action returns a collection? In order to be annotated with things like count and next link, the result would have to be a collection of value arrays, as in:
{"value":[{"value":[{a=1,b=2},{a=2,b=3}]},{"value":[{a=4,b=5}]}]}.

Once we have defined the result of /$each for actions that return results, it seems natural that we support /$each with functions as well.
