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.

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);
}
}
Spring Data REST now exposes an EntityLookup interface that allows to customize the property of an entity that shall be used to create item resource URIs. By default this mechanism uses the backend identifier and uses the repository's findOne(…) method.
The EntityLookup now exposes one method to return the property value to be used for URI generation as well as one method to obtain the entity instance from the very same raw identifier value. The EntityLookups are registered with both the SelfLinkProvider (for link creation) and the RepositoryInvoker (to obtain the entity instance).
