Based on the discussion in SPR-11004 [0], the declaration of the PagedResourcesAssembler in HateoasAwareSpringDataWebConfiguration will not result in it being autowired using Spring 4.0 in certain circumstances. This change loosens the declaration so that it can be autowired into declarations that have specific generics declarations.

PageRequest now actively prevents page sizes less than one. PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver falls back to default page size if it detects a page size less than one. It also rejects invalid default configuration using @PageableDefault.
Extracted the implementation of UriComponentsContributor from PageableHandlerMethoArgumentResolver and SortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver into dedicated subclasses so that we can really make Spring HATEOAS an optional dependency.
The integration tests are now guarded with an assumption to run on Spring 3.2 as Spring 3.1 has issues with JavaConfig and configuration method overrides. We've upgraded to Spring Data Build 1.2 snapshots so that the tests can be run with -Pspring32. This effectively means that the Spring Data Web support can only be used with a current Spring 3.2. Added a note on that in the reference docs and JavaDoc of @EnableSpringDataWebSupport.

PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver and SortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver now consistently use set*ParameterName(…) and setQualifierDelimiter(…) for configuration.
Added some more unit tests to verify invalid configuration get rejected.
SortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver now has a setFallbackSort(…) to be able to configure the Sort instance to be used if nothing can be resolved from the request and sort default is configured on the controller method.
Renamed name of getDefaults(…) method in SortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver to getDefaultFromAnnotationOrFallback(…) and refactored implementation to be more understandable.

PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver now uses replaceQueryParam(…) to make sure the query parameters necessary for pagination don't accidentally get added multiple times.
Reverting the registration of the DomainClassConverter as a Spring bean an prefer direct registration against the FormatterRegistry handed into addFormatters(…) of WebMvcConvfigurerAdapter. Otherwise we run into CGLib issues while enhancing the config classes.
Updated backing implementation of @EnableSpringDataWebSupport to use WebMvcConfigurerAdapter instead of WebMvcConfigurationSupport as the latter is a very custom beast in terms of configuration. Let the Spring HATEOAS specific configuration class extend the default one to register additional components. The default one accesses the FormattingConversionService through a qualified autowiring. It issues a warning in case none has been configured and asks the user to enable Spring MVC.
Updated Sonargraph architecture description to allow logging from web config layer.
Added PagedResourcesAssembler to easily convert Page instances into a PagedResource instance and automatically build the required previous/next links based on the PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver present in the MVC configuration. The assembler can either be injected into a Spring MVC controller or a controller method. The latter will then assume the controller methods URI to be used as pagination link base.
Added @EnableSpringDataWebSupport to automatically register HandlerMethodArgumentResolvers for Pageable and Sort as well as a DomainClassConverter that will allow the usage of domain types being managed by Spring Data repositories in controller method signatures. In case Spring HATEOAS is present on the classpath, we'll also register a PagedResourcesAssembler for injection as well as the appropriate HandlerMethodArgumentResolver for injection into controller methods.
Adapted Sonargraph configuration accordingly. Upgraded to Spring HATEOAS 0.6.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.
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.
