Answer 1

You can use custom handler similar to this:

@RepositoryRestController
public class OrderController {

    @Autowired
    OrderRepository orderRepository;

    @GetMapping("/orders/search/customers/{id}")
    public @ResponseBody ResponseEntity getByCustomers(@PathVariable Integer customer) {
        Order order = orderRepository.findOne(id);
        if(order == null) return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND).body(null);
        Resource resource = new Resource(order); 
        return ResponseEntity.ok(resource);
    }
}
