Advertise function imports in service document

XMLWordPrintable

      The service document is an entry point for hypermedia-driven clients, so function imports that can be called "directly from the service root" should also be advertised.

      Function imports that require a binding parameter don't fall into that category.

      Ideally the advertised function imports would require no parameters to be passed, i.e. only have parameters with default values or no parameters at all, so they behave to GET requests similar to named entities and entity sets.

      As in real life we also encounter entity sets that e.g. respond with errors if queried without a sufficiently selective $filter query parameter, I hesitate to make "only parameters with default values" a requirement for being advertised.
