[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-4397?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Steven Hawkins commented on TEIID-4397: --------------------------------------- See http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.0/errata03/os/complete/part2-ur... section 5.1.1.11.4 {quote} Example 84: customers along with their orders that shipped to the same city as the customer's address. The nested filter expression is evaluated in the context of Orders; $it allows referring to values in the outer context of Customers. http://host/service/Customers? $expand=Orders($filter=$it/Address/City eq ShipTo/City) {quote} I don't think so. It should apply to the expanded entity, not the parent. I know there were several issues with self relationships and predicates. I'll double check this behavior in the upstream. For the most part we rely on users consulting the spec -http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.0/odata-v4.0-part2-url-conventions.html Any deviation from that or unsupported features should be documented. You would generally use expand * when there is more than one navigation property so that everything can be expanded. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.5.0#75005)
