Question

I followed this example, which allows to post a unique Person object. I want a REST service where I can post a collection of Person at once, e.g. a

Based on user1685095 answer, You can make custom Controller PersonRestController and expose post collection of Person as it seem not exposed yet by Spring-date-rest

@RepositoryRestController
@RequestMapping(value = "/persons")
public class PersonRestController {
private final PersonRepository repo;
@Autowired
public AppointmentRestController(PersonRepository repo) {
    this.repo = repo;
}

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = "/batch", consumes = "application/json", produces = "application/json")
public @ResponseBody ResponseEntity savePersonList(@RequestBody Resource> personWrapper,
        PersistentEntityResourceAssembler assembler) {
    Resources resources = new Resources(repo.save(personWrapper.getContent()));
    //TODO add extra links `assembler`
    return ResponseEntity.ok(resources);
}

}

PersonWrapper to fix:

Can not deserialize instance of org.springframework.hateoas.Resources out of START_ARRAY token\n at [Source: java.io.PushbackInputStream@3298b722; line: 1, column: 1]

Update

public class PersonWrapper{
 private List content;
   
public List getContent(){
return content;
}

public void setContent(List content){
this.content = content;
}
}

public class Person{
private String name;
private String email;
// Other fields

// GETTER & SETTER 
}
