Custom response for root request int the Spring REST HATEOAS with both RepositoryRestResource-s and regular controllers

Question

Let\'s say I have two repositories:

@RepositoryRestResource(collectionResourceRel = \"person\", path = \"person\")
public interface PersonRepository extends          


        

Answer 1

@Component
public class HelloResourceProcessor implements ResourceProcessor {

    @Override
    public RepositoryLinksResource process(RepositoryLinksResource resource) {
        resource.add(ControllerLinkBuilder.linkTo(HelloController.class).withRel("hello"));
        return resource;
    }
}
