> 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
