You can also use an OData Service instead

Hi Bjoern,

you can also use an OData Service instead of developing a custom http service. This is not obvious since when using a CDS view OData service and if you try to create a property called "number" you will get the error message that this is a reserved key word and that you thus have to use another property name. There is however a not well known annotation available that allows you to set the name of a property of an OData service as described in the SAP Online Documentation

  @OData.property.name: 'Number'
  BaseUnit : abap.unit( 3 );
}

This works for custom entities and well as for view entities or normal cds views.

Kind regards,
Andre
