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.

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.
