Spring Data REST: Override repository method on the controller

Question

I have the following REST repository, whose implementation is generated at runtime by Spring.

@RepositoryRestResource
public interface FooRepository extends          


        

Answer 1

Just an update that I found that saved my life. As said brilliantly by @mathias-dpunkt in this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/34518166/2836627

Most importantly the RepositoryRestController is aware of the spring data rest base path and will be served under this base path.

So if your base path is "/api" and you are using @RepositoryRestController

you have to ommit "/api" from @RequestMapping
