So far the property lookup of a nested property path (e.g. "foo.bar") failed in cases the head property was not cached already. We now recursively resolve the type information even for an unpopulated cache.
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.
For some reasons the <repository /> and <pluginRepository /> elements get stripped from the Spring Data parent pom during the deployment onto Artifactory so they do not end up in the pom.xml published although defined in the source pom.xml.
Extracted SpelExpressionParameterValueProvider from PersistentEntityParameterValueProvider to allow extension to recursively map the value resolved from the SpEL expression evaluation. This extension has to override the potentiallyConvertSpelValue(…) method to continue nested conversion.
So far, PropertyPath inevitably uncapitalized the property names it was created for. We now check, whether the source name is all uppercase and prevent uncapitalization in this case.
Extended RepositoryFactoryInformation to expose the PersistentEntity for the domain type the repository factory is eventually creating the repository for. The default implementation in RepositoryFactoryBeanSupport exposes a protected setMappingContext(…) that is later used to lookup the PersistentEntity.
