We now make sure that unmapped properties (e.g. by using @JsonIgnore) are ignored when applying PUT request payloads. To do so we now basically use the merging algorithm used for PATCH requests but make sure we fill up the request payload with explicit null values for all mapped but not contained properties.
To be sure to pick up domain type lookup customizations we now consistently use RepositoryMetadata instead of trying to be clever and re-detecting it via RepositoriesUtils.
Instead of using a DomainClassConverter directly we now use a raw ConversionService in UriToEntityConverter. This allos us to get rid off the bean definitions for UriToEntityConverter and DomainClassConverter. The population of the ConversionService is now taken care of by calling SpringDataWebConfiguration's addFormatter(…) in defaultConversionService().
Added unit tests for UriToEntityConverter.
To be able to control the order of the HttpMessageConverter beans registered by RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration we now use a dedicated subtype of TypeConstrainedMappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter which additionally implements Ordered.
The special RepositoryRestHandlerAdapter we set up for repository invocations didn't consider the ConversionService Spring Data REST sets up. This causes binding issues in case someone wants to override resource handling by declaring an @RepositoryRestController and using a domain type as handler method argument.
We now explicitly configure the RepositoryRestHandlerAdapter to use the ConversionService we set up and equip with Spring Data Commons' DomainClassConverter.
We're now using ReflectionUtils.invokeMethod(…) to avoid the exceptions being thrown from reflectively-invoked event handler methods to be wrapped in IllegalStateExceptions.

The ProjectingMethodInterceptor now inspects collections and maps to apply projections to collection elements and map values. Test cases inspired by a contribution of Saulo Medeiros de Araujo.

Decouple the test machinery of this class from the barrage of common test cases used against the various data stores. This way, other test suites that use the same integration approach don't have to be a part of this class hierarchy. Also move utilities and assertion methods into separate utility classes to slim down the class hierarchy.

Removed class-level @RequestMapping annotations as the controllers get picked up by standard Spring MVC and are exposed via the root even if a base URI is configured. Created custom @BaseUriAwareController and use that in AlpsController to make sure it doesn't get picked up by Spring MVC.
Search resources are now considered sortable if they contain a Sort parameter. This is now reflected in MethodResourceMapping.isSortableResource().
Building on top of that, the RepositorySearchController now appends the sort template variable to links generated when listing search resources. It also now accepts resolved Sort instances to forward them to the query method execution. The controller now also uses DefaultedPageable so that request missing pagination information use the defaults configured for the PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver.
We now don't expose the PersistentEntityJackson2Module as bean anymore to prevent global registration in case of a Boot setup. The HttpMessageConverters registered are now TypeConstrainedMappingJackson2HttpMessageConverters so that they only get used of the object to marshal is of type ResourceSupport.
Fixed ReflectionRepositoryInvokerIntegrationTests after some CRUD method detection changes that invalidated the test cases.
