Previously, the RepositoryBeanDefinitionBuilder did not forward the repository configuration's source instance into the built BeanDefinitions. This is now fixed to enable STS track the origin of the BeanDefinition back to the configuration source (an @Enable-annotation or an XML namespace element).
PartTree now supports query methods starting with "count…By" and exposes that fact through an isCountProjection() method to be used by query creators upstream
ReflectionEntityInstantiator now actually throws the wrapped exception created in the catch block handling BeanInstantiationExceptions.
Pull request: #25.
Added HandlerMethodArgumentResolver implementations for Pageable and Sort exposing a new default set of properties (page, size, sort) to resolve pagination and sorting information from the request. To mimic the legacy behavior we expose a (deprecated) LEGACY constant in PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver. Clients should move to the new properties structure ASAP. Added unit tests to verify old and new defaulting behavior.
Introduced new annotations @SortDefault (with @SortDefaults wrapper annotation) and @PageableDefault (superseding the legacy @PageableDefaults). The new annotations have more speaking attribute names and the HMAR implementations transparently alias the generic value attribute into a more semantic one (size).
The HMAR implementations implement Spring HATEOAS' UriComponentsContributor to be able to turn Pageable / Sort instances back into URIs created through the MethodLinkBuilderFactory API in Spring HATEOAS.
Extracted common API between legacy PageableArgumentResolver and PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver into common helper class.
Upgraded to Spring Hateoas 0.5.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.
Added PageableHandlerArgumentResolver to supersede the now deprecated PageableArgumentResolver. The latter still stays available for Spring 3.0.x based deployments. Updated reference documentation to mention the newly introduced type as well as possible configuration options.
AnnotationBasedPersistentProperty now caches direct annotations on construction but still tries to lookup an annotation as meta-annotation if not found in cache on later requests. Extended try/catch block in AbstractMappingContext.addPersistentEntity(…) to invalidate cache on exceptions during property creation as well.
