Revert the changes that employed manual annotation lookup as that would cause invalid associations of fields and accessor methods for properties shadow renamed. Instead, we now use MappedProperties that already contains a mapping between the Jackson field names and Spring Data property names.

RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration now implements EmbeddedValueResolver to forward the StringValueResolver given to both BasePathAwareHandlerMapping and RepositoryRestHandlerMapping.

Added test case and re-enabled the base URI to be prepended even in case a controller path prefix is configured. That functionality had been lost with the originally submitted changes.

This commit introduces support for a common base path shared amongst all handler methods of a controller annotated with @BasePathAwareController / @RepositoryRestController.

We now replace the original value of polymorphic properties with the newly deserialized one if the type of the new one is different from the old one. We still copy all JSON ignored properties to the new instance to make sure that non-exposed, server-side state is retained. We apply the same handling for explicitly immutable source and/or target types.
Fixes#2130.
RepositoryRestHandlerMapping's RepositoryCorsConfigurationAccessor now also evaluates @CrossOrigin's originPatterns into the CorsConfiguration.
Fixes#2077.
We now verify that the serializer registered for the type that's supposed to be handled by the NestedEntitySerializer actually supports unwrapping as the serialization in EntityModel (MapSuppressingUnwrappingSerializer) requires that to work properly.
Fixes#2056.
When we detected @BasePathAwareController and @RepositoryRestController instances, we now reject types that use @RequestMapping on the class level as doing so causes an inevitable registration of the controller with Spring MVC.
Fixes#1342, #1628, #1686, #1946.
