Hi Francesco, I have forwarded this message to the dev list :)
ActionImports and FunctionImports have an operation specified by FullQualified Name. The Overloading happens based on Parameters when they are called. So giving back a list of ActionImports would not make sense but rather adding a method at the ActionImport like this List<EdmAction> getActions(). This way a client can decide which Action he wants to invoke. Same goes for FunctionImport. As far as I know there is no way to bind a single Action directly to an ActionImport again same goes for Functions and FunctionImports. As for the methods getBoundAction/getUnbound at the ActionImport I have to look into this. As far as I know only unbound Actions can serve for an Action Import. I don`t know who introduced this methods. For Functions I will have to look into this as well.

I have also just noticed that both EdmActionImport and EdmFunctionImport have methods like as getUnboundFunction() / getUnboundAction() - getBoundFunction() / getBoundAction() (they actually used to have plain getAction() / getFunction()): this suggests that from a single ActionImport / FunctionImport one can get to all actions / functions with given name. Isn't there a way to bound an ActionImport / FunctionImport to a single Action / Function? -- Francesco Chicchiriccò Tirasa - Open Source Excellence http://www.tirasa.net/ Involved at The Apache Software Foundation: member, Syncope PMC chair, Cocoon PMC, Olingo PMC http://people.apache.org/~ilgrosso/
