The default exposure of repository methods is now controlled via RepositoryRestConfiguration.setExposeRepositoryMethodsByDefault(…). That allows us to remove the additional API from RepositoryDetectionStrategy as the mere detection is an orthogonal topic.
Also added RepositoryRestConfiguration.disableDefaultExposure() to set the RepositoryDetectionStategy to ANNOTATED and disables default method exposure in one go. That can be exposed via a Spring Boot configuration property downstream.
The field value lookup in ValidationErrors previously threw a NotReadablePropertyException in case a property value was null as we incorrectly piped the null value into an Optional in turn. We now eagerly reject the property if we can't find a PersistentProperty in the metamodel to avoid this.
We now expose the constructor that takes a RelProvider in RepositoryResourceMappings so that clients can tweak the default relation names. Changed the order of constructor parameters of (previously) non-public constructors for consistency.
The RelProvider to be used with the mappings can now be configured via RepositoryRestConfiguration and defaults to the EvoInflector based one.
Additional cleanups in QuerydslAwareRootResourceInformationHandlerMethodArgumentResolver to make sure a QuerydslRepositoryInvokerAdapter is only applied if the QuerydslPredicateBuilder actually exposes a predicate. Extracted a couple of methods to make sure the mapping pipeline reads nicely.
In case PersistentEntities exposes a managed type whose raw type currently doesn't have a PersistentEntity registered, the constructor of UriToEntityConverter ran into a NullPointerException.
We now explicitly check for null and skip those types.
Filed DATAREST-1021 for further improvements in the 3.0 time frame.
We now resolve the handler method argument type of an annotated repository event handler against the concrete handler type to make sure generics are resolved properly.
We now make sure that an @Order annotation on annotated event handler methods are considered and the methods are invoked in the defined order.
Non-annotation-based event handlers don't suffer from the same problem as they're ApplicationListener instances directly so that the container will enforce the correct ordering in case @Order is used or Ordered is implemented.
Some cleanup in EventHandlerMethod.
Original pull request: #248.
We now interpret If-None-Match and If-Modified-Since headers on requests to resources backed by query methods returning a single instance only. This allows clients to optimize GET requests to those resources to save bandwidth.
Fixed broken equals(…) in ProjectionDefinition. Switched to iterating over Map's entry set instead of the keys. Made UriAwareHttpServletRequest static.
