Interface ODataMetaComplexType

All Superinterfaces:

ODataMetaAnnotable, java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

ODataMetaComplexTypeDefaultImpl

public interface ODataMetaComplexType
extends ODataMetaAnnotable

Represents a complex type in an entity model (edm:ComplexType).
Complex types are keyless nominal structured types. The lack of a key means that complex types cannot be created, updated or deleted independently of an entity type. Complex types allow entity models to group properties into common structures if the group of properties does not need to be managed independently. All properties MUST have a unique name. Properties MUST NOT have the same name as the declaring complex type.
