[OLINGO-1278] Unable to apply filter on a Collection EdmPrimitiveTypeKind.Guid property

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open

Description

I have an Entity with a CsdlProperty of type EdmPrimitiveTypeKind.Guid and collection true.

When I try to apply a system filter on the entity for that property, for example:

Name of the entity: Email

Property which is a collection and has a list of Guid's: Recipient

Odata rest call:

https://sampleodataservice/email?$filter=recipient eq 645bc5dd-b83f-41e1-af0b-a0ae56ef667d

I am seeing the below response:

 A collection expression is not allowed.

The above call used to work with the Apache Olingo 4.3.0 but it is failing with the new Apache Olingo 4.4.0. I see that the changes in Expression Parser class to check the collection element is creating this exception.

Could you please provide some information on how to add a filter on a collection property which has elements of type Edm.Guid.

 

Thanks and Regards,
