How to add links to Spring Data REST projections?

问题

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 ?

回答1:

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 mentioned in URL.

@Component
public class UserProjectionResourceProcessor 
    implements ResourceProcessor<Resource<UserProjection>> {

    public static final String CANCEL_REL = "cancel";

    @Autowired
    private EntityLinks entityLinks;

    @Override
    public Resource<UserProjection> process(Resource<UserProjection> resource) {

        UserProjection userProjection = resource.getContent();   
        resource.add(entityLinks.linkFor(User.class).withRel(CANCEL_REL));              
        return resource;
    }
}
