Christian Amend resolved OLINGO-661.
------------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed
      Assignee: Christian Amend

Hi James,

1.) Pagination for a link collection was added with the V3 version of the specidication so within our library we currently offer no support for that.

2.) The "Categories(1)/$links/Products" link element points towards the link of the navigation while the "Categories(1)/Products" link element points towards the resource itself. Only the latter is mandatory. But it is up to a service which links will be delivered.

If you still have questions please reopen the ticket.

Best Regards,
Christian

> Please could I clarify the following re the $links function:
> 1) Should $links support pagination of the resulting links? If so, how exactly should the paging link be provided in the response?
> 2) When an entity is addressed via the public odata.org feed, link elements are provided of the form:
> <link rel="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/relatedlinks/Products" type="application/xml" title="Products" href="Categories(1)/$links/Products" />
> Is this mandatory? It seems odd when elsewhere in the metadata the entity link is declared e.g.
> <link rel="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/related/Products" type="application/atom+xml;type=feed" title="Products" href="Categories(1)/Products" />
> Isn't the $links just implicit?
> Many thanks.
