I’m trying to get my WCF Data Service to show a different entity namespace

  • 0

I’m trying to get my WCF Data Service to show a different entity namespace in the resulting xml from the entity’s real namespace.

Consider this Netflix OData service http://odata.netflix.com/v2/Catalog/Languages?$select=Name

Every entry looks like this

<entry>
    ...
    <category term="Netflix.Catalog.v2.Language" .../>
    ...
</entry>

In my own code the “category term” value is the namespace of my entity class and it’s not as clean as I would like. In fact it’s OurProductName.CustomerName.Web.RestApi.v2.Entities.Entityname.

Is it possible to change this by setting an attribute on the entity or some other way?

Regards,
Mathias

    If you’re using the reflection provider then this can’t be changed currently. It is possible to write a custom provider in which case you can rename anything, but it’s much more work.
