Optional Property in Entity

Hi,

I have a use case where I need an optional property in a response entity. I set nullable field in CsdlProperty as true. CsdlProperty.setNullable(true) but still the result shows the property value as null.

Am I missing anything here? Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,
Nishant Gupta

Hi Nishant,

even if a property is null it will appear in the payload. This is part of the specification. If you don`t want to see certain properties then you can specify a select clause as a query parameter. Of course this will omit all properties of this name even if they have a value.

Best Regards,
Christian
