OK, enough polite words…;-)… now go ahead – and stay tuned for explanations in next blog(s) of this series

Project

See Prerequisites and  Project Creation blog

Model

Create xml file with name DemoService.xml  (see here) with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<edmx:Edmx Version="4.0" xmlns:edmx="http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/ns/edmx">
	<edmx:DataServices>
		<Schema Namespace="demo" xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/ns/edm">
			<EntityType Name="Person">
				<Key>
					<PropertyRef Name="UniqueId" />
				</Key>
				<Property Name="UniqueId" Type="Edm.Int32" />
				<Property Name="Name" Type="Edm.String" />
			</EntityType>
			<EntityContainer Name="container" >
				<EntitySet Name="People" EntityType="demo.Person" />
			</EntityContainer>
		</Schema>
	</edmx:DataServices>
</edmx:Edmx>

Code

Create a Java class with name ServiceImplementation.java in the generated package (!)
(see here) and add the following method:

@Read(serviceName="DemoService", entity="People")
public ReadResponse getPerson(ReadRequest request) {
		
	Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
	map.put("UniqueId", 1);
	map.put("Name", "Kitty");
		
	return ReadResponse.setSuccess().setData(map).response();
}
