----------------------------------
Summary: Use $skiptoken, $top and $skip
Key: OLINGO-162
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OLINGO-162
Project: Olingo
Issue Type: Bug
Components: odata2-core
Affects Versions: V2 1.1.0
Reporter: M Carissimi
Priority: Minor
Hello,
I use $skiptoken to implement pagination in my service. What should the service
return when $skiptoken is used in conjunction with $top and $skip? Should the
numbers specified in $top and $skip be considered relative to the starting
point of the page being displayed or should they be considered absolute values?
For example, if I have $skiptoken=10&$top=4 should the service return the first
4 items of the page starting with entry number 10 or should the service return
nothing because $skiptoken > $top? If the latter is true, then to obtain the
first 4 entres on the second page one would have to specify
$skiptoken=10&$top=14. Which is correct?
Similarly, if I have $skiptoken=10&$skip=2, should the service return the
entres on the page starting with element 10 but skipping the first 2 entres?
Lastly, I understand that $skiptoken should represent the id of the first entry
to display on a page. What should the id be for entities with compound keys
(i.e. a name and a date)?
Cheers
Miki
