does anyone know how to express an OData $filter against a nested property?
for ex. I have the following Atom entry,
<entry>
...
<m:properties>
...
<d:RegardingObjectId m:type="Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Data.Services.EntityReference">
<d:Id m:type="Edm.Guid">3f3712fd-fc49-e211-8eb8-000c296272c8</d:Id>
<d:LogicalName>new_sportsleague</d:LogicalName>
<d:Name>Boca</d:Name>
</d:RegardingObjectId>
I want to filter for those entries that have RegardingObjectId/LogicalName eq 'new_sportsleague'.
Tried with 'RegardingObjectId/LogicalName' and 'RegardingObjectId.LogicalName' with no luck.
'RegardingObjectId/LogicalName'
would be the correct syntax.
For example:
http://services.odata.org/v3/OData/OData.svc/Suppliers
returns two results, whereas
http://services.odata.org/v3/OData/OData.svc/Suppliers?$filter=Address/Street eq 'NE 228th'
returns just one.
I don't see a place in the OData spec that explicitly states whether filtering using properties of a complex value is legal or not, but it seems that WCF Data Services supports it. It could be that other OData implementations don't.
