spring-data-rest

I have two spring boot applications where one of them is acting as an API Gateway (as discussed here Spring Example ). The other which is wired into the first one is exposing a profile service using spring-data-rest (spring-data-neo4j-rest). The first application is starting on port 8080 and is using zuul to route requests to the second as follows: zuul: routes: profiles: path: /profiles/** url: http://localhost:8083/profiles/ This all works fine and requests to http://localhost:8080/profiles are being served from the second app. The problem though is that the HATEOAS links in the response are

I have created a Spring Data Rest projection (not an excerpt projection) and need to add some links to it only as these links do not hold significance with other projections of same entity nor with the entity itself. How can we do this as far as I know using ResourceProcessor I can add links to only entities, is it possible to add links for only that projection ? fortm It seems it is possible just to create a ResourceProcessor dedicated to a projection and I could create 3 ResourceProcessors one for each projection and one for entity itself and they get called depending on which projection is

My task is to make an advanced search with Spring Data REST. How can I implement it? I managed to make a method to do a simple search, like this one: public interface ExampleRepository extends CrudRepository<Example, UUID>{ @RestResource(path="searchByName", rel="searchByName") Example findByExampleName(@Param("example") String exampleName); } This example works perfectly if I have to go simply to the url: .../api/examples/search/searchByName?example=myExample But what I have to do if there are more than one field to search? For example, if my Example class has 5 fields, what implementation

Is it possible to publish two different repositories for the same JPA entity with Spring Data Rest? I gave the two repositories different paths and rel-names, but only one of the two is available as REST endpoint. The point why I'm having two repositories is, that one of them is an excerpt, showing only the basic fields of an entity. The terrible part is not only that you can only have 1 spring data rest repository (@RepositoryRestResource) per Entity but also that if you have a regular JPA @Repository (like CrudRepository or PagingAndSorting) it will also interact with the spring data rest

I have been trying to add spring validators to a spring-data-rest project. I followed along and setup the "getting started" application via this link: http://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-rest/ ...and now I am trying to add a custom PeopleValidator by following the documents here: http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/2.1.0.RELEASE/reference/html/validation-chapter.html My custom PeopleValidator looks like package hello; import org.springframework.validation.Errors; import org.springframework.validation.Validator; public class PeopleValidator implements Validator { @Override public
