spring-data-rest-external-resource-mapping

This example spring-data-rest project illustrates linking a field within an Entity to a REST resource, as opposed to another table.

Annotations within an @Entity class indicate the intent of linking to a REST resource, and a custom ResourceProcessor is used to add links and resolve external resources within the HATEOAS output

Some simple data is loaded on startup via a "BootstrapData" class.

Usage:

./gradlew bootRun

Endpoints:

curl http://localhost:8080/users
