OData : Multiple Entity Container and Data Service Context

Question

As per the OData specification it is possible for a OData Metadata to have multiple entity containers. Also its possible to have inheritance relationship between the entity containers.

Since I generate the proxy using DataSvcUtil.exe for the data services, does the generated proxy takes care of multiple entity containers?

Basic question is whether a single data service expose multiple entity containers?

Also as per section 2.1.14 in http://www.odata.org/media/6652/[mc-csdl][1].htm it is possible to have inheritance relationship between entity containers.

In simple terms, can a OData metadata end point have multiple entity container and if yes, how does the datasvcutil handles this?

 

Thanks

Hi Venki,

Based on my test, DataSvcUtil.exe cannot handle multiple entity container.   But it seems that inheritance can occur between different entity containers.
