使用$ expand选项返回导航属性时,Web Api OData v4请求失败

Question

对OData服务的请求类似于下面的请求按预期工作:

http:// localhost:31054/odata/Articles？$ filter = ArticleRatings/any()&$ orderby = ArticleId%20desc&$ expand = Publication&$ format = json

但是,当我将格式更改为xml时,相同的请求将失败,并显示以下错误消息:

<Error>
    <Message>An error has occurred.</Message>
    <ExceptionMessage>
        The 'ObjectContent`1' type failed to serialize the response body for content type 'application/xml; charset=utf-8'.
    </ExceptionMessage>
    <ExceptionType>System.InvalidOperationException</ExceptionType>
    <StackTrace/>
    <InnerException>
        <Message>An error has occurred.</Message>
        <ExceptionMessage>

        </ExceptionMessage>
        <ExceptionType>System.ArgumentException</ExceptionType>
        <StackTrace>

        </StackTrace>
    </InnerException>
</Error>

毋庸置疑,当不使用$ expand选项时,两种格式都可以正常工作.

我正在使用Web Api OData的最新稳定版本:Microsoft.OData.Core"版本6.14.0 Microsoft.AspNet.OData版本5.8.0

有任何想法如何解决这个问题？
