Expose all IDs when using Spring Data Rest

Question

I\'d like to expose all IDs using a Spring Rest interface.

I know that per default an ID like this will not be exposed via the rest interface:

    @I

Try this configuration. It works perfectly fine for me.

@Configuration
public class RestConfiguration extends RepositoryRestConfigurerAdapter{

      @PersistenceContext
      private EntityManager entityManager;

      @Override
      public void configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(RepositoryRestConfiguration config) {
           //TODO: Expose for specific entity!
           //config.exposeIdsFor(Officer.class);
           //config.exposeIdsFor(Position.class);

           //TODO: Expose id for all entities!
           entityManager.getMetamodel().getEntities().forEach(entity->{
                try {
                     System.out.println("Model: " + entity.getName());
                     Class clazz = Class.forName(String.format("yourpackage.%s", entity.getName()));
                     config.exposeIdsFor(clazz);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                     System.out.println(e.getMessage());
                }
            });
    }
}
