Description

1]Following is metadata
<Schema Namespace="ChildEntityns" xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/ns/edm">
<EntityType Name="A">
<Key>
<PropertyRef Name="Id" />
</Key>
<Property Name="Id" Type="Edm.Int32" Nullable="false" />
<Property Name="Name" Type="Edm.String" Nullable="false" Unicode="false" />
<NavigationProperty Name="B" Type="Collection(ChildEntityns.B)" ContainsTarget="true" />
<Annotation Term="ChildEntityns.PluralName" String="As" />
</EntityType>
<EntityType Name="B">
<Key>
<PropertyRef Name="Id" />
</Key>
<Property Name="Id" Type="Edm.Int32" Nullable="false" />
<Property Name="Name" Type="Edm.String" Nullable="false" Unicode="false" />
<NavigationProperty Name="A" Type="ChildEntityns.A" Nullable="false" ContainsTarget="true" />
<Annotation Term="ChildEntityns.PluralName" String="Bs" />
</EntityType>
<EntityContainer Name="ChieldCNT">
<EntitySet Name="Aentity" EntityType="ChildEntityns.A" />
</EntityContainer>
</Schema>

*2] method[POST]=> http://localhost:8085/MagicXpiOData/ChildEntityns.OData_1/Aentity*
{
"Id":1,
"Name": "A",
"B":[

{ "Id":1, "Name": "B" }

]

}

3]Response of new entity creation(generated response contains only simple properties of entity)

{ "@odata.context": "$metadata#Aentity", "Id": 1, "Name": "A" }

4]My question: Is it possible to generate response(Containing with navigation properties also) like following
{
"@odata.context": "$metadata#Aentity",
"Id": 1,
"Name": "A",
"B":[

{ "Id":1, "Name": "B" }

]
}
