Removed the language of oppression and violence and replaced it with more neutral language.
Note that problematic words in the code have to remain in the docs until the code changes.
Fixes#379.
In AggregateReferenceDeserializerModifier we now look up the original property name on the Jackson metadata before trying to resolve the property target type. We also explicitly guard against null values returned from that lookup and opt out of the customization in those cases.
We now consider all registered PersistentEntity instances and try to detect repository metadata for them. A case we didn't cover before was that a repository was declared for an aggregate super type but the actual child aggregate class didn't have a dedicated repository declared. While this is a perfectly valid scenario, the mapping information was broken as it fell back on the plain domain type information and produced paths and relation names derived from that, even if there's a super type repository available.
Thus, solely traversing the aggregate types we have repositories registered for is not enough. We now traverse all known PersistentEntity types and also register repository metadata for all types that are assignable to a known domain type. The latter is actually implemented in Spring Data Commons' Repositories via spring-projects/spring-data-commons#2406.
Removed unnecessary CustomPostForm.js from HAL Explorer. HAL Explorer natively supports Spring Profiles. Update link in README.adoc to the HAL Explorer section in the reference docs Correct typo and incorrect description in HAL-Explorer section.
Fixes#2005.
4b36f79 introduced a regression by consuming registered RepositoryRestConfigurer instances via ApplicationContext.getBeansOfType(…).values() which, unlike the previous consumption via a List<RRC> in an @Bean method, is losing the declared order of the RRC instances as ….getBeansOfType() is a Map.
We now rather use an ObjectProvider and its ….orderedStream() method to consume the registered instances ordered properly.
Fixes#1995.
Introduce AggregateReferenceResolvingModule to be registered with the default ObjectMapper instance that will allow to materialize aggregate instances from URIs for incoming web requests. We do not apply this for aggregate roots themselves as they're already handled by the AssociationUriResolvingDeserializerModifier.
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 now don't import XML configuration located in classpath*:META-INF/spring-data-rest/**/*.xml anymore. This is primarily to not trigger the XML subsystem in Spring Framework which we don't need at all actually. Users still relying on that import can just declare the import themselves.
Improving the configuration situation for RRCD, whose bean declaration required access to all RepositoryRestConfigurer instances while implementing the interface itself, too. We now rather hide the creation of that instance in a Lazy as it doesn't need any kind of lifecycle management.
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.
