---------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> Multiplicity of navigation property is determined incorrectly
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OLINGO-462
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OLINGO-462
> Project: Olingo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: odata2-core
> Affects Versions: V2 2.0.0
> Reporter: Vitali Yarmolik
>
> There is the following metadata of an OData service:
> {code:xml}
> <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
> <edmx:Edmx Version="1.0"
> xmlns:edmx="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/06/edmx";>
> <edmx:DataServices m:DataServiceVersion="1.0"
> xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata";>
> <Schema Namespace="TestNamespace"
> xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2008/09/edm";>
> <EntityType Name="Data">
> <Key>
> <PropertyRef Name="Key" />
> </Key>
> <Property Name="Key" Type="Edm.String" Nullable="false" />
> <NavigationProperty Name="Employee"
> Relationship="TestNamespace.Data_Employee" FromRole="Data"
> ToRole="Employee" />
> </EntityType>
> <EntityType Name="Employee">
> <Key>
> <PropertyRef Name="Key" />

> <Property Name="Key" Type="Edm.String" Nullable="false" />
> <Property Name="firstName" Type="Edm.String" Nullable="true" />

> <NavigationProperty Name="colleagues"
> Relationship="TestNamespace.Employee_colleagues" FromRole="Employee"
> ToRole="Employee" />

> {code}
> Having such metadata, it is not possible to expand multi-valued 'colleagues'
> navigation property of Employee entity using the following service request:
> {{.../Data?$expand=Employee/colleagues}}
> The problem is in
> {{org.apache.olingo.odata2.core.edm.provider.EdmAssociationImplProv.getEndMultiplicity(String
> role)}} method, which is called to determine whether a navigation property
> is a feed or an entry.
> {code:java}
> public EdmMultiplicity getEndMultiplicity(final String role) {
> if (association.getEnd1().getRole().equals(role)) {
> return association.getEnd1().getMultiplicity();
> }
> if (association.getEnd2().getRole().equals(role)) {
> return association.getEnd2().getMultiplicity();
> }
> return null;
> }
> {code}
> When the method is called to return multiplicity of 'colleagues' navigation
> property it returns {{EdmMultiplicity.ONE}} value because 'role' of the
> navigation property is equal to the role of End1, i.e. to the name of the
> containing entity type. As a result, it is expected that the expanded inline
> value will be an OData entry rather than a feed. It, in its turn, results in
> calling the implementation of
> {{org.apache.olingo.odata2.api.ep.callback.OnWriteEntryContent.retrieveEntryResult(WriteEntryCallbackContext)}}
> method to expand the navigation property as an entry. Because the navigation
> property is a feed and is represented as a {{java.util.List}} internally it
> cannot (and should not) be expanded as an entry.
> To fix the issue the implementation of
> {{org.apache.olingo.odata2.core.edm.provider.EdmAssociationImplProv.getEndMultiplicity(String
> role)}} method should be changed,
