Hi Ralf, thank you very much for the clarification!
@ Francesco: This means for us: 1. Delete the get boundFunction and getBoundAction method. 2. Maybe introduce a getActions method which delivers all unbound Actions for this this name. Same goes fur Functions. Best Regards, Christian -----Original Message----- From: Handl, Ralf [mailto:ralf.ha...@sap.com] Sent: Montag, 7.

It also only allows importing unbound function overloads, see http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.0/os/part3-csdl/odata-v4.0-os-part3-csdl.html#_Toc372794000. The ActionImport element also only imports an unbound action. Unbound actions currently cannot have overloads, because overloads must have the same binding parameter, and unbound actions don't have one, see http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.0/os/part3-csdl/odata-v4.0-os-part3-csdl.html#_Toc372793963.

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/
