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.
Whenever HAL FORMS is supposed to be rendered, we now adapt the `Content-Type` header depending on whether affordances (and thus `_templates`) are present. If none can be found, we either adapt the header to either `application/hal+json` or even `application/json` depending on the `Accept` header arrangement given. If none match, we reject the request with `406 Not Acceptable`.
Had to reintroduce a dependency on Lombok to use @SneakyThrows as otherwise we cannot throw HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException from a ResponseBodyAdvice. A manual implementation of the pattern does not compile on Java 8 (at least on MacOS).
Fixes#2060.
We now completely avoid reflection in RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration by delaying all bean lookups that were previously declared through autowired fields.
Fixes#2057.
As the "understanding" section is not published any more, move link to Markdown file in the GitHub repository.
Original ticket: DATAREST-1392. Fixes#356.
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.
LinkCollector is now an interface. The actual implementation has been moved to DefaultLinkCollector. RepositoryRestConfigurer now has a customizeLinkCollector(…) callback method to tweak or even completely replace the LinkCollector instance.
Fixes#2042.
Introduced RepositoryRestConfigurer.customizeAuditableBeanWrapperFactory(…) so that implementations can customize the default instance provided by RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration.
Fixes#2040.
Properly initialize the MongoMappingContext in unit tests when using special identifier types. Explicitly add javax.annotation as dependency in shop tests.
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.
