• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_GW_MDE_TABLE009 - Property & cannot contain any objects inside. ?

  The SAP error message SADL_GW_MDE_TABLE009 typically indicates that there is an issue with the metadata definition in the SAP Gateway or the Service Definition Layer (SDL) when working with the SAP Application Development Layer (SADL). The error message states that a property cannot contain any objects inside, which usually means that the property in question is defined incorrectly or is not allowed to have nested structures.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Metadata Definition: The property in the metadata definition may be defined as a complex type or an entity type that is not allowed to contain nested objects.
  Data Model Issues: The data model may have been designed in a way that violates the constraints of the SADL framework.
  Service Definition Issues: The service definition may not be properly configured to handle the data structure being used.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Metadata Definition: Check the metadata definition of the service and ensure that the property in question is defined correctly. It should be a simple type (like string, integer, etc.) if it is not supposed to contain nested objects.
  Adjust Data Model: If the property is intended to hold complex data, consider redesigning the data model to ensure that it adheres to the SADL constraints. This may involve creating separate entities or using associations instead of nesting objects.
  Check Service Configuration: Ensure that the service is properly configured to handle the data structure. This may involve adjusting the service definition or the way the data is being accessed.
  Use Annotations: If applicable, use annotations to specify the expected behavior of the properties in the metadata definition.
