What is spring-data-rest?
spring-data-rest, a recent addition to the spring-data project, is a framework that helps you expose your entities directly as RESTful webservice endpoints. Unlike rails, grails or roo it does not generate any code achieving this goal. spring data-rest supports JPA, MongoDB, JSR-303 validation, HAL and many more. It is really innovative and lets you setup your RESTful webservice within minutes. In this example i’ll give you a short overview of what spring-data-rest is capable of.
Initial Configuration
I’m gonna use the new Servlet 3 Java Web Configuration instead of an ancient web.xml. Nothing really special here.
public class WebAppInitializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer { @Override protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() { return new Class<?>[]{AppConfiguration.class}; } @Override protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() { return new Class[]{WebConfiguration.class}; } @Override protected String[] getServletMappings() { return new String[]{"/"}; }} Source : http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2013/08/spring-data-rest-in-action.html
