[Olingo4] Should a navigation property evaluate to a complex type?

[Jonas Vachal <jo...@vertex-controls.com>]

The following line of code results in a an exception stating Usupported object type scantegra.Entities.Models.Location

CoreUtils.addProperties(edmClient, map, newEntity);

Map in this context is a Map<String, Object> generated with a method identical to BeanUtils.describe.  In this context the POJO being mapped contains primitive types as well as one referenced pojo that contains primitive types as well.  The metadata describing the objects is included below.

What I am really after is to map an object into a cliententity using the native methods in the Olingo4 library.  If I map the objects into a ClientEntity manually and add the location as a complex type the post works fine.

Anyone have any ideas here or can you recommend a better way to do this?

Thanks!

J.
