I'm reading some data from a OData service. Within the controller, I do the following:

this.getView().bindElement({
  path: "/HeaderData(key1='key1',key2='key2')",
  parameters: { expand: 'toItems' }
});

The data is read correctly and the model within the console looks like:

HeaderData(key1='key1',key2='key2'): {
  HeaderField1: "value1"
  HeaderField2: "value2"
  toItems: {__list: Array(2)}
}

Now, I want to bind the entries within the "toItems" collection to a table. I've tried the following but it's not working because "toItems" is a collection.

<Table items="{
  path: '/HeaderData',
  parameters: { expand: 'toItems' }
}">

This one is also not working:

<Table items="{
  path: '/HeaderData/toItems'
}">

How to bind the items correctly? The table could not be accessed via ID, so the binding must be within the XML view.

Simply bind the navigation property to the aggregation:

<Table items="{toItems}">

Make sure to omit / at the beginning of the binding path since it's supposed to be resolved relative to the bound entity / context (that was given by bindElement). To learn more, see topic Binding Path.

The ODataListBinding will then send a request to the items accordingly if they're not available already.
