Summary: Use of binary data
Key: OLINGO-139
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OLINGO-139
Project: Olingo
Issue Type: Question
Affects Versions: V2 1.0.0
Reporter: M Carissimi
Hello,
I have read your sample on how to use Media Resources by invoking method
setHasStream(true) on an EntityType and I can see how this can be used to
retrieve binary data using $value.
I am trying to understand how this differs from the use of Binary properties.
From what I can see, the media content of Binary properties is embedded (in an
encoded format) in the odata feed, where as media content accessed via the
$value property is only returned when requested.
I have a table where binary data is stored in two separate columns. Do I need
to use Binary properties for these two columns and always embed the encoded
binary data in the odata feed or can I use the $value method to retrieve binary
data only when requested? How would I configure this as the setHasStream(true)
is applicable to the whole EntityType rather than to a single property?
Cheers
Miki
