We now replace the original value of polymorphic properties with the newly deserialized one if the type of the new one is different from the old one. We still copy all JSON ignored properties to the new instance to make sure that non-exposed, server-side state is retained. We apply the same handling for explicitly immutable source and/or target types.
Fixes#2130.
RepositoryRestHandlerMapping's RepositoryCorsConfigurationAccessor now also evaluates @CrossOrigin's originPatterns into the CorsConfiguration.
Fixes#2077.
We now verify that the serializer registered for the type that's supposed to be handled by the NestedEntitySerializer actually supports unwrapping as the serialization in EntityModel (MapSuppressingUnwrappingSerializer) requires that to work properly.
Fixes#2056.
When we detected @BasePathAwareController and @RepositoryRestController instances, we now reject types that use @RequestMapping on the class level as doing so causes an inevitable registration of the controller with Spring MVC.
Fixes#1342, #1628, #1686, #1946.
Whenever HAL FORMS is supposed to be rendered, we now adapt the `Content-Type` header depending on whether affordances (and thus `_templates`) are present. If none can be found, we either adapt the header to either `application/hal+json` or even `application/json` depending on the `Accept` header arrangement given. If none match, we reject the request with `406 Not Acceptable`.
Had to reintroduce a dependency on Lombok to use @SneakyThrows as otherwise we cannot throw HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException from a ResponseBodyAdvice. A manual implementation of the pattern does not compile on Java 8 (at least on MacOS).
Fixes#2060.
We now completely avoid reflection in RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration by delaying all bean lookups that were previously declared through autowired fields.
Fixes#2057.
LinkCollector is now an interface. The actual implementation has been moved to DefaultLinkCollector. RepositoryRestConfigurer now has a customizeLinkCollector(…) callback method to tweak or even completely replace the LinkCollector instance.
Fixes#2042.
Introduced RepositoryRestConfigurer.customizeAuditableBeanWrapperFactory(…) so that implementations can customize the default instance provided by RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration.
Fixes#2040.
In AggregateReferenceDeserializerModifier we now look up the original property name on the Jackson metadata before trying to resolve the property target type. We also explicitly guard against null values returned from that lookup and opt out of the customization in those cases.
