Get entity schema from web resource

Hi everyone,

I want to use a webresource in multiple forms. I would like to be able to retrieve form's current entity schema name (the one with upper cases, not the one from "Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName();") in order to build odata query: like "/AccountSet?$select=Name, ...". So I need to get the schema name for the current entity, like "Account" and not account from Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName()

Is there a way to get the schema name with webresource javascript?

Thanks everyone

RE: Get entity schema from web resource

The Xrm API doesn't give you the entityset name (which may not be simply 'Set' appended on to the end of the Entity Schema name.

You'll need to query the metadata WebAPI using the entity logical name as a $filter - see msdn.microsoft.com/.../mt607522.aspx

Hope this helps
