Question

I am trying to put some data from Android to an OData Server:

<edmx:Edmx Version="1.0">
  <edmx:DataServices m:DataServiceVersion="1.0" m:MaxDataServiceVersion="3.0">
    <Schema Namespace="DBModel">
      <EntityType Name="insertData">
        <Key>
          <PropertyRef Name="ID"/>
        </Key>
        <Property Name="ID" Type="Edm.Guid" Nullable="false"/>
        <Property Name="double_data" Type="Edm.Double"/>
      </EntityType>
    </Schema>
    <Schema Namespace="Data">
      <EntityContainer Name="DataEntities" m:IsDefaultEntityContainer="true" p6:LazyLoadingEnabled="true">
        <EntitySet Name="insertStuff" EntityType="DBModel.insertData"/>
      </EntityContainer>
    </Schema>
  </edmx:DataServices>
</edmx:Edmx>

My method to send the data to the server:

public class DataTransmitter {
  String serviceUrl = "http://url.tld/Data.svc";
  String entitySet = "insertStuff";

  ODataJerseyConsumer c = ODataJerseyConsumer.newBuilder(serviceUrl).build();

  void sendData(double data, UUID uuid) throws Exception {
    OEntity newLocation = c.createEntity(entitySet)
        .properties(OProperties.guid("ID", uuid.toString()))
        .properties(OProperties.double_("double_data", data))
        .execute();
}

Whenever I start the Application I get the following error on adb logcat:

org.odata4j.exceptions.NotFoundException: EdmEntitySet insertStuff is not found

I guess I have to include the Namespace DBModel somehow. But I don’t know how, and can’t seem to find it in the documentation.

EDIT: I included the line ODataConsumer.dump.all(true); to see what the Client is receiving from the server. I can see the whole $metadata as shown above in the output.

I/System.out( 2984):         <Property Name="ID" Type="Edm.Guid" Nullable="false" />
I/System.out( 2984):         <Property Name="double_data" Type="Edm.Double" />
I/System.out( 2984):       </EntityType>
I/System.out( 2984):     </Schema>
I/System.out( 2984):     <Schema Namespace="Data" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2009/11/edm">

I/System.out( 2984):     </Schema>
I/System.out( 2984):   </edmx:DataServices>
I/System.out( 2984): </edmx:Edmx>

So the client is able to connect to the server AND accessing the EntitySet insertStuff. But still it shows the error

E/MainActivity(  987): null
E/MainActivity(  987): org.odata4j.exceptions.NotFoundException: EdmEntitySet insertStuff is not found

Answer 1

It seems, that this is related to the bug postet here: Issue 226: odata4j doesn’t recognize WCF-$metadata correctly

So to fix that all I had to do is to create the odata4j-0.8.0-SNAPSHOT-clientbundle.jar based on the current odata4j sources. Because a fix is already included in the 0.8.0-SNAPSHOT (Issue 226 fix)

Sorry about asking here before consulting the bug reports!
