Why is the OData PageContent.Content field null? It has data in the Broker DB

Question

I'm using a linq statement like the one below to return a page. The page returns, the content field is populated in the DB, but the Content is null in the OData response. Any ideas?

     var pages = (from p in cds.PageContents
                 where p.PublicationId == 20 && p.PageId == 1397
                 select p).ToList<SDLODataClient.SDLOData.PageContent>();

    foreach (SDLODataClient.SDLOData.PageContent p in pages)
    {
        txtOutput.InnerHtml += p.Content;
    }

Answer 1

This turned out to an issue with my cd_storage_conf.xml config file. Everything should have been pointed to the broker DB, but one item mapping was defined as follows:

<Item typeMapping="Page" cached="false" storageId="defaultFile"/

So the OData service was not looking in the right place.
