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

I found a neat solution if you are using Java 8 - just use default methods in interface

@RepositoryRestResource
public interface FooRepository extends CrudRepository {
    default  S save(S var1) {
        //do some work here
    }
}
