Re: (open) UI5 Mockserver combined with ODataModel problem

Hi Tin

Missing context into your code ill point you to the Sap.m Cart test app to see how the MockServer works with an ODataModel

you'll find the app in the following folder

C:\<ui5sdk>\test-resources\sap\m\demokit\cart\model

first off you need to

- create a model folder

- add a metadata.xml, use your live services as a template

http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc/$metadata

- for each of the entities you want to mock create an <entity>.json file

eg Products.json =

http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Products?$format=application/json;odata=nometadata

in your code you need to set up the mockserver to fake your service

var url="http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc/";

jQuery.sap.require("sap.ui.core.util.MockServer-dbg");

 

if (mock === true ){

  varoMockServer=newsap.ui.core.util.MockServer({

        rootUri:url

    });

    oMockServer.simulate("model/metadata.xml","model/");

    oMockServer.start();

}

varoModel=newsap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel(url,true);

sap.ui.getCore().setModel(oModel);

fyi - ODataModel.read is a bit of an anti pattern as it doesn't add data to the context for binding, this is the real power of the ODataModel, you should really bind to something like a tables list/items or a controls property
