Remove temporary version placeholders and obsolete version declarations for modules we do not test against anymore.
Tweaked the JPA integration and the Jackson Hibernate 5 one in particular to work with the new Jakarta variants. Re-enabled JPA tests. Removed support for Jackson Hibernate 4 integration and JodaTime.
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.
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.
Properly initialize the MongoMappingContext in unit tests when using special identifier types. Explicitly add javax.annotation as dependency in shop tests.
Nested entities that contain a reference to an aggregate root get a link to that attached to their representation. Previously, the creation of those links assumed that the reference is a materialized instance of the remote aggregate. That's now altered to be able to deal with associations, use identifiers directly or materialize to an intermediate aggregate instance to potentially use a custom lookup.
We're now registering an HttpMessageConverter to render requests for HAL FORMS using the HalFormsConfiguration present in the application.
We're currently not adding any affordances yet. The change solely enables user code to add affordances explicitly, e.g. via RepresentationModelProcessor implementations.
Fixes: #1991.
We now build against a newer Servlet API version to align with Spring Framework.
Also, introduce a version property servlet.version for centralized version management.
Closes#1951
