getDataMethod

Lookup a data method by qualified name (for function/action definitions) or by unqualified name (for function/action imports). If the data method does not exist it indicates a fundamental implementation problem, therefore a non-catchable PanicException will be thrown, and the app intentionally crashes. The reason behind this drastic behaviour is to avoid mismatch between server and client. It is still possible to avoid the PanicException by looking up data methods before calling this method like in the following code snippet:

Example checking if a data method exists:

open fun checkDataMethodInCsdlDocumentExistsExample(): kotlin.Unit
{
    val csdlDocument = this.service.metadata;
    if (csdlDocument.lookupMethods.has("Microsoft.OData.Service.Sample.TrippinInMemory.Models.Person.UpdatePersonLastName"))
    {
        Ignore.valueOf_any(csdlDocument.getDataMethod("Microsoft.OData.Service.Sample.TrippinInMemory.Models.Person.UpdatePersonLastName"));
    }
    else
    {
        // The data method UpdatePersonLastName does not exists, add logic to handle the issue/throw an Exception, etc..
    }
}
