MappedProperties now exposes a factory method that uses the Jackson introspector for serialization (instead of deserialization) which now also includes read-only properties. Previously, read-only ones were not considered as they are excluded from the metadata if it is looked up for deserialization.
We now support adding a to a collection via JsonPatch expressions by using the collection's size as target index. Contrary to paths pointing to existing collection elements we cannot determine the type of the object to be created. Thus, we fall back to the common element type of all existing collection elements. We also reject indexes pointing to elements with an index greater than the current collection's size.
Adapted RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration to now create a shared fallback ObjectMapper and avoid to register it as Spring Bean. Adapted test cases that previously were relying on such a bean being present.
Adapted test cases to verify on the correct ALPS document structure (see spring-projects/spring-hateoas#665).
Fixed @since tag in new converter implementation as we're going to backport the fix to Kay. Simplified converter setup in RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration to expose less API until someone actually requests access.
Original pull request: #290.
We now provide and configure a converter for String to LdapName conversion so Spring Data LDAP can be used with Spring Data REST without further configuration.
Original pull request: #290.
ResourceMetadataHandlerMethodArgumentResolver.supports(…) now properly checks for ResourceMetadata. It previously checked for RepositoryInformation which is probably a left-over from a previous state of the codebase and has been unnoticed so far as the class is only used as a direct dependency of other HandlerMethodArgumentResolvers.
DelegatingHandlerMapping now implements MatchableHandlerMapping by selecting the a delegate based on the already implemented algorithm and then invoking the ….match(…) method in case the selected one is a MatchableHandlerMapping in turn.
Refactored the internals a bit to be able to reuse the selection algorithm from both ….getHandler(…) and ….match(…).
The default exposure of repository methods is now controlled via RepositoryRestConfiguration.setExposeRepositoryMethodsByDefault(…). That allows us to remove the additional API from RepositoryDetectionStrategy as the mere detection is an orthogonal topic.
Also added RepositoryRestConfiguration.disableDefaultExposure() to set the RepositoryDetectionStategy to ANNOTATED and disables default method exposure in one go. That can be exposed via a Spring Boot configuration property downstream.
Removed Lombok constructor and accessor generation to avoid having to deal with the changed default in Lombok 1.16.20 not generating @ConstructorProperties by default anymore.
Spring Framework 5.0.2 changes the default for the Allow-Credentials header to false. We now adapted our test case to that and also drop the expectation to see the request URL in the Allow-Origin header as that is only returned if Allow-Credentials is true, which it now isn't by default.
Significantly refactored the way that patch path expressions are handled and evaluated. The new design is centered around SpelPath that is aware of the original path as well as the derived SpEL expression. That SpelPath then requires clients to bind it to a type so that the original path can be validated (and rejected if invalid) and provide API to read, set, copy and move values backed by the original path. Both SpelPath and TypedSpelPath instances are cached to avoid repeated creation.
PatchOperation implementations now provide more fluent factory methods, in some cases via intermediate builders. Removed a lot of obsolete code that created JsonNodes from a list of PatchOperations as we don't actually use that functionality anywhere. Removed obsolete generics where possible.
We now inspect the user class of the given bean type in BasePathAwareHandlerMapping.isHandler(…). We can't use AnnotationUtils as @RepositoryRestController is also annotated with @BasePathAwareController but must not be handled by this mapping.
