Spring Data Rest Without HATEOAS

Question

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

Answer 1

After reading Oliver's comment (which I agree with) and you still want to remove HATEOAS from spring boot.

Add this above the declaration of the class containing your main method:

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = RepositoryRestMvcAutoConfiguration.class)

As pointed out by Zack in the comments, you also need to create a controller which exposes the required REST methods (findAll, save, findById, etc).
