SAPUI5 oData Read function

Question

Hi,
I'm currently creating an application which binds odata from a thirds party source to a local application.
Using my odata model, I;m trying to bind the receive data to a form control. I tried using odata model read function, like below:
this.odataModel = new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel("XXXXXX/SAMPLEFLIGHT/");
             var form2 = sap.ui.getCore().byId("Form2");
             // insert url parameters
             this.odataModel.read("/FlightCollection(carrid='"+param1"',connid='"+param2+"',fldate=datetime'2013-05-01T00%3A00%3A00')",
              null,
              null,
              false,
              function(oData, oResponse){
              // create JSON model
              var oODataJSONModel =  new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
              // set the odata JSON as data of JSON model
              oODataJSONModel.setData(oData);
              // store the model
              form2.setModel(oODataJSONModel, "localModel");
              console.log(form2.getModel("localModel")); //successful output
I was able to retrieve the odata, but when I try to display it on my form, the output is blank, below is my view file:
var oForm1 = new sap.ui.layout.form.Form("Form2",{
       title: new sap.ui.core.Title({text: "Flight Details", tooltip: "Flight Details"}),
       layout: oLayout1,
       formContainers: [
            new sap.ui.layout.form.FormContainer("F2C1",{
                 title: "Flight Details",
                 formElements: [
                      new sap.ui.layout.form.FormElement({
                           label: new sap.ui.commons.Label({text:"Carrier ID"}),
                           fields: [
                                     new sap.ui.commons.TextField({
                                             placeholder: "Please input carrier ID",
                                               value: "{carrid}"
                 ], // end of form elements
I'm sure about the path, since there are no errors generated, and the path is a direct child from the root entry. My question is, what am I missing on odata read function, and how do I properly bind the retrieved data to the form control?
Thanks in advance!

Hi All,
Already solved the issue, by investigating the odata property of my model.
It seems that when JSONModel on odata read function, the root needs an additional "/" for the binding path.
For example, my recent path:
value: "{carrid}"
will now be accessed via
value: "{/carrid}"
I hope this will help you regarding same issue.
Thanks,
Gin
