spring-hateoas

After adding a custom Jackson serializer based on the official documenation I've observed a slightly different json output format. This example is based on a fork of spring-restbucks . Extend org.springsource.restbucks.WebConfiguration from RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration and override configureJacksonObjectMapper : @Override protected void configureJacksonObjectMapper(ObjectMapper objectMapper) { final SimpleSerializers serializers = new SimpleSerializers(); serializers.addSerializer(Order.class, new OrderSerializer()); objectMapper.registerModule(new SimpleModule("CustomSerializerModule"){

I really like all the boilerplate code Spring Data Rest writes for you, but I'd rather have just a 'regular?' REST server without all the HATEOAS stuff. The main reason is that I use Dojo Toolkit on the client side, and all of its widgets and stores are set up such that the json returned is just a straight array of items, without all the links and things like that. Does anyone know how to configure this with java config so that I get all the mvc code written for me, but without all the HATEOAS stuff? After reading Oliver's comment (which I agree with) and you still want to remove HATEOAS from

I want to create a REST link for an Employee entity that will basically be a findByAllFields query. Of course this should be combined with Page and Sort . In order to do that I have implemented the following code: @Entity public class Employee extends Persistable<Long> { @Column private String firstName; @Column private String lastName; @Column private String age; @Column @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP) private Date hiringDate; } So I would like to have lets say a query where I can do: http://localhost:8080/myApp/employees/search/all?firstName=me&lastName=self&ageFrom=20&ageTo=30

I have a data access layer made with Spring-Data. I'm now creating a web application on top of it. This one controller method should return a Spring-Data Page formatted as JSON. Such a Page is a List with additional Paging info like total amount of records and so forth. Is that possible and if yes how? And directly related to that can I define the mapping of property names? Eg. meaning I would need define how the paging info properties are named in JSON (differently than in page). Is this possible and how? Oliver Drotbohm There's support for a scenario like this upcoming in Spring HATEOAS and

I want to use the HAL format for my REST API to include embedded resources . I'm using Spring HATEOAS for my APIs and Spring HATEOAS seems to support embedded resources; however, there's no documentation or example on how to use this. Can someone provide an example how to use Spring HATEOAS to include embedded resources? linqu Make sure to read Spring's documentation about HATEOAS , it helps to get the basics. In this answer a core developer points out the concept of Resource , Resources and PagedResources , something essential which is is not covered by the documentation. It took me some time

I have been looking at various examples of how to use Spring with REST . Our end target is a Spring HATEOAS/HAL setup I have seen two distinct methods for rendering REST within Spring Via @RestController within a Controller Via @RepositoryRestResource within a Repository The thing I am struggling to find is why would you use one over the other. When trying to implement HAL which is best? Our database backend is Neo4j . zpontikas Ok, so the short story is that you want to use the @RepositoryRestResource since this creates a HATEOAS service with Spring JPA . As you can see here adding this
