Removed the attempt to add a link to the response for non-associations. Switched to the usage of Simple(Property|Association)Handlers for simplified generics.
Made RepositoryInvokerFactory an interface and renamed the previously existing implementation class to DefaultRepositoryInvokerFactory. Removed instantiation of the class from ResourceMetadataHandlerMethodArgumentResolver to keep the logic which implementation to use solely in the configuration.
Set order of RepositoryRestHandlerMapping to LOWEST_PRECEDENCE - 100 to give core Spring Framework components the chance to hook into the right place in the chain.
Refactored RepositoryRestHandlerMapping to really check for the exposed path and added test cases for handler method resolution.
PersistentEntityJackson2Module now entirely relies on the property mapping to do the right thing for link creation. The PropertyResourceMapping now returns the property name for both rel and path.
Merged core and repository modules into core. Renamed some packages for consistency in naming and in preparation to break up some package cycles. Removed @BaseUri and the according resolver. Refactored controllers a bit to have more reusable chunks of code.
Simplified new RepositoryMappings infrastructure. Integrated EvoInflectionRelProvider to build collection resource rels. Bumped version number to 2.0 as we're going to break backwards compatibility with the next release to straighten out the rel construction and mapping.
Additional changes include:
* Re-wrote the monolithic Controller into separate controller classes that have a more narrow focus.
* Implemented common functionality as a `HandlerMethodArgumentResolver` rather than as a helper method in a controller class.
* Re-implemented JSONP functionality as an HttpMessageConverter rather than inline within a controller class.
* Updated to Jackson 2 for all JSON handling.
* By relying on spring-data-commons, spring-data-rest now handles all supported Repository types: JPA, MongoDB, and GemFire.
Added support for MongoDB and GemFire repositories by relying on spring-data-commons to provide the metadata rather than maintaining internal metadata information that is store-specific.
Replaced Spock spec tests with JMock unit and integration tests. Started integrating Jetty 8 into the testing so MVC testing can be done against a live server.
There were some issues with how results were being displayed in searches versus entity lists. This code changes the way all results are displayed by offereing several options for output. The default is to inline the entity in the response and page the results (defaults to 20). If the UA sends an `Accept` header of `application/x-spring-data-compact+json` or `text/uri-list`, however, SD REST will output a compact list of only links and will not inline the entities.
The method of output was completely rewritten to use HttpMessageConverters exclusively. Views and the subsequent ContentNegotiatingViewResolver machinery have been elimintated. This should make it easier to embed inside an existing Spring MVC application. This is also easily extendable so the user can plug in their own set of HttpMessageConverters for any output format they like (JAXB, Atom/XML, etc...).
Also added was JSONPE support. By setting the `jsonpParamName` property on the `RepositoryRestConfiguration` customization class, the user can change the default JSONP param name of `callback`. There's also a `jsonpOnErrParamName` property on that configuration (defaults to `null`) that will allow you to capture errors using JSONP. Normally this would not be possible using script element injection, but the REST controller changes the status code to 200 and pass your javascript function the actual response code and wraps the error as the second parameter.
