We now allow sorting by properties of embedded objects. An embedded object is not linkable to a root object but embedded in the resource itself. If any part of the sort property path points to a linkable association, the whole sort property path is discarded silently and not used for sorting any further.

We now issue the user registration of Jackson modules before any of the default modules Spring Data registers get applied. Testing module registration seems to be rather difficult as Jackson doesn't actually expose API to do so. An issue [0] was filed for Jackson to improve on this.

Skip all merge logic if the source value is null. That frees all nested logic from handling with that case and us falling back to plain Jackson reading.
The array handling now also opts out if the source value is not a collection or array in the first place as it means we need to let Jackson override the value with the collection given to be deserialized.

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.
Some tiny refactorings in DomainObjectReader. We're now using TypeInformation instead of Class to preserve more generics information when it comes to deeper nesting.
Moved some code around in the unit tests.

We now support nested Sort properties considering Jackson mapping. Sort translation is optional and skipped if the domain class is not resolvable. Translation in the scope of a domain class maps property paths to apply sorting using embedded properties.
A sort string `nested-name` resolves to a property path `anotherWrap.embedded.name`.
class Aggregate {
@JsonUnwrapped
public UnwrapEmbedded anotherWrap;
}
class UnwrapEmbedded {
@JsonUnwrapped(prefix = "nested-")
public Embedded embedded;
}
class Embedded {
public String name;
}

We now don't prematurely drop fields that don't have a persistent property exposed in DomainObjectReader. Doing so dropped values for transient fields as the latter are not exposed as persistent property in the first place. We still skip any nested merging though.

The serializer for projection resources now also invokes ResourceProcessor instances registered for that particular projection.

Instead of replacing the HAL Browser's browser.html, take the existing one and alter it inside the build job. This ensures that future updates don't break so horribly.
Related to https://github.com/mikekelly/hal-browser/pull/89 which will provide an explicit token to match, instead of using the closing `</body>` tag.
We now explicitly manually merge array nodes that contain complex objects. Previously arrays would've been skipped and the subsequent Jackson update would wipe out all properties not contained in the original document even on PATCH requests.
Removed RepositoryRestConfiguration.addCorsMapping(…) as we currently don't have any other shortcut methods for configuration like this.
Tweaked the setup of (now Repository)CorsConfigurationAccessor to be created earlier so that we avoid recreation for every lookup. Introduced a NoOpStringValueResolver to be used by default so that we don't need to deal with the case of the resolver being null at the end of the call chain. Replaced constructor of RepositoryCorsConfigurationAccessor with corresponding Lombok annotation.
Updated reference documentation accordingly.

We now support CORS configuration mechanisms introduced in Spring 4.2. CORS can be configured on multiple levels: Repository interface, Repository REST controller and global level. Spring Data REST CORS configuration is isolated so Spring Web MVC'S CORS configuration does not apply to Spring Data REST resources.
Multiple configuration sources are merged so different aspects of CORS can be configured in separate locations.
@CrossOrigin
interface PersonRepository extends CrudRepository<Person, Long> {}
@RepositoryRestController
@RequestMapping("/person")
public class PersonController {
@CrossOrigin(maxAge = 3600)
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, "/xml/{id}", produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_VALUE)
public Person retrieve(@PathVariable Long id) {
// ...
}
}
@Component
public class SpringDataRestCustomization extends RepositoryRestConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
public void configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(RepositoryRestConfiguration config) {
config.addCorsMapping("/person/**")
.allowedOrigins("http://domain2.com")
.allowedMethods("PUT", "DELETE")
.allowedHeaders("header1", "header2", "header3")
.exposedHeaders("header1", "header2")
.allowCredentials(false).maxAge(3600);
}
}
Previously, MappedProperties didn't handle Jackson properties correctly, that do not expose a PersistentProperty, e.g. transient ones. That led to potential nullPointerExceptions in clients as the guarding hasPersistentPropertyForField(…) still answered true, as the backing cache contained an entry with a null value. We now skip those properties completely.
