Hi Steven,
I am not sure why you want to build a url. The ODataModel works with contexts and paths.
eg if we bind 'ProductFamily('XBOX360')/Description' to TextField Value and it will show 'XBOX 360'
similarly we can bind 'ProductFamily('XBOX360')/ContainsMaterials' to a table and it will show all the associated Materials of an Xbox
One way to do this is described in the developer guide, use of "expand" to inline the contents of the association when binding
https://sapui5.netweaver.ondemand.com/sdk/#docs/guide/ODataModel.html
oControl.bindElement("/Category(1)", {expand: "Products"});
oTable.bindRows({
path: "/Products", parameters: {expand: "Category"}
});
Another way
this.oModel = this.model = new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel(sServiceUrl, true, user, pwd);
var oContext = this.oModel.getContext("/ProductFamily('XBOX360')");
..
sap.ui.getCore().byId("tblMaterials").bindRows(oContext + '/ContainsMaterials');
Cheers
jsp
