breezejs: navigation property is created but not filled with data

Question

I\'m having yet another issues with navigation properties but this time my configuration is WCF Data Service + EF.

Basically the metadata looks good, I have the referent

Answer 1

As a follow up, the issue is just that:

-with classic ODATA service, navigation properties are embedded in an object called 'results'.

:

Whereas with WebAPI service, navigation properties are just an array.

Then at some point in breeze code there's the following test:

 // needed if what is returned is not an array and we expect one - this happens with __deferred in OData.

if (!Array.isArray(relatedRawEntities)) return null;

and in the case of classic ODATA service, it obviously returns null and navigation property is not populated.

I don't know how to make myself any clearer than that. It does not look like a problem with my metadata, but more like a bug in breeze.

Can you confirm that what I'm saying makes sense ? Can we do something about that ?
