New Post: Odata batch issue - with nightly

Hi, I've figured out the problem, it was simpler than I thought. I assume you have built this request manually on fiddler or with any other utility, am I correct?

The problem is that the verb used for creating an entry is POST, not PUT, so either your verb is wrong in this request (it should be POST) or your url is wrong on the request and should be /odata/Incidents(500) (in that case you should also implement UpdateEntity in EntitySetController. I strongly encourage you to use WCF Data Services client or any OData client to test your services:

You only need to create a console app, start the service without debugging (CTRL+F5), right click on add service reference on the project you just created, point it to your OData Service url and it will generate an OData client.

You can then write code like the following:

            Container container = new Container(new Uri("http://localhost.fiddler:64630/odata"));
            container.AddToIncidents(new Incident() { IncidentID = 500, Name = "Incident name" });
            container.SaveChanges(SaveChangesOptions.Batch);

            Container newContainer = new Container(new Uri("http://localhost.fiddler:64630/odata"));
            Incident incident = newContainer.Incidents.Where(i => i.IncidentID == 500).ToList().Single();
            incident.Name = "Updated incident name";
            newContainer.UpdateObject(incident);
            newContainer.SaveChanges(SaveChangesOptions.Batch | SaveChangesOptions.ReplaceOnUpdate);

Here are the batch requests that I've created using the client and the associated responses, (forget about the .fiddler in the urls, that is just a trick to make sure the requests go trough fiddler):
