How to set default value of exported as false in rest resource spring data rest

Question

I want to use RestResource annotation of spring data rest. As you know it exposes ALL CRUD methods by default. But I only need findAll method. One way is to set exported val

Answer 1

There is an easy and standard solution and I tried and found it working in spring boot 2.0.2 Write a configuration class as shown below and setExposeRepositoryMethodsByDefault(false) and it's done :)

@Component
public class SpringRestConfiguration extends RepositoryRestConfigurerAdapter {
    @Override
    public void configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(RepositoryRestConfiguration config) {
        config.setRepositoryDetectionStrategy(RepositoryDetectionStrategy.RepositoryDetectionStrategies.ANNOTATED);
        config.setExposeRepositoryMethodsByDefault(false);
    }
}
