The terrible part is not only that you can only have 1 spring data rest repository (@RepositoryRestResource) per Entity but also that if you have a regular JPA @Repository (like CrudRepository or PagingAndSorting) it will also interact with the spring data rest one (as the key in the map is the Entity itself). Lost quite a few hours debugging random load of one or the other. I guess that if this is a hard limitation of spring data rest at least an Exception could be thrown if the key of the map is already there when trying to override the value.
