Create a record using SAPUI5 and ODATA Service

Question

Hi there,
since SPS6, SAP HANA should allow CRUD operations using an ODATA Service.
That sounds nice and so I wanted to give it a try.
I've started by creating a simple table and set up a tiny application that displays the data in a grid (using a JSON Model) and allows to insert new records by entering data into two textfields and save them as a new record to the databse. That works well, the grid shows the records which I have created using the SAP HANA Studio.
So I wanted to create new records, and the documentation says very clearly how to create a new record.
I've tried it this way, but when the request is send I get an 501 Not Implemented error.
Thats the code I'm using in my SAVE-Button:
btnSave.attachPress(function() {
   var entry = {};
   entry.id = tfUserId.getValue();
   entry.username = tfUserName.getValue();
   oData.create('/tbl_user', entry, null,
   function() {
      alert("Create successful");
   function() {
      alert("Create failed");
After that I've tried to create a record using the POSTMAN extension for Chrome browser as mentioned in this cool video by Thomas Jung.
Unfortunately, this also doesn't work for me. After sending the request I get as respone a sap hana xs login window with Status Code 200 instead of a status code "201 created".
Here's a screenshot:
I'm using SAP HANA Cloud Trial.
Anybody got an idea what I'm doing wrong? Or does ODATA CRUD not work an SAP HANA Cloud Trial?
Many thanks,
ben

Hi Jason,
exactly, it's the logon page returned that is opened when I open the service URL in the browser. After logging on I can see the results of the ODATA service call.
The URL must be correctly defined, the grid shows up the data from the ODATA Service.
And yes, the URL looks OK when expecting in Chrome developer tools...
Thanks,
