Use case for Pagination of Embedded resources

Question

There is a use case I am struggling with SDR as below -

THere is User Table and RefSecQuestion tables

User -> ManyTOOne -> RefSecQuestion , Ref         


        

Answer 1

Finally I am able to get my desired results and am posting here for all SDR users. I wanted to have pagination in this URL - where User -> One To Many -> UserLanguages

/users/{id}/userLanguages

Now Using default SDR configuration, embedded resources don't get paginated and therefore I have to manually expose them and the Workaround is as below which still takes very less lines of code -

@RestController
public class MainController {

    @RequestMapping(value = "/users/{id}/userLanguages", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    @PreAuthorize("permitAll")
    public ModelAndView findUserLanguages(@PathVariable Integer id) {
        ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("forward:/userLanguages/search/findByUserId?userId=" + id);
        return model;
    }

then, in UserLangRepository

public interface UserLanguageRepository extends BaseRepository<UserLanguage, Integer> {

    Page<UserLanguage> findByUserId(@Param("userId") Integer userId, Pageable pageable);
}

Here name findByUserId follows Spring Data Query Derivation rule where there is user column in UserLanguage and id column in User. Then following URL is paginated and have other options as well like sort, size etc..

http://localhost:8585/MYAPP/users/3/userLanguages

There is an issue however that next and prev links point to forwarded link..
