Upgraded to Spring Data Build parent 1.3.0.RC1 and Spring HATEOAS 0.9.0.RELEASE. Switched to milestone repositories. Updated changelog and adapted notice.txt.
Changed Hateoas(Pageable|Sort)HandlerMethodArgumentResolver to use newly introduced TypeVariables abstraction to avoid having to deal with string representations manually.
The registered TemplateVariables carry a "pagination.….description" key to be resolved against a MessageSource.
Moved getCrudMethods() to RepositoryMetadata to be able to add a isPagingRepository() to the interface as well. Changed DefaultCrudMethods to work with a RepositoryMetadata instead of RepositoryInformation.
DefaultRepositoryInformation now completely delegates to the ResourceMetadata given and not extend it to avoid initialization order issues.
In case of an unresolvable generic parameter in TypeDiscoverer's getTypeArgument(…) we check for a generic super type for the given bound and fall back to Object in case we find a parameterized type.
RepositoryConfigurationDelegate allows to easily trigger repository BeanDefinitions to be registered independently of the client API (XML or annotation configuration support). Refactored the existing configuration base classes to use the newly introduced class. Removed defaulting of infrastructure components needed for Spring 3.1 compatibility.
The Hateoas(Pageable|Sort)HandlerMethodArgumentResolver now receive a UriComponents instance to inspect for existing query parameters. They then refrain from adding template variables for already present parameters. Slightly modified the way the sort parameters is appended to the pagination properties (although semantically equivalent).
We now handle an IllegalArgumentException being thrown in case we deal with a templated request mapping. We simply skip the attempt to eagerly resolve the base URI for the request and rely on the assembler being capable of resolving it itself or the user effectively providing a Link instances to one of the toResource(…) overloads.
PagedResourcesAssembler now adds a LinkTemplate to every PagedResources instance created and pulls the template variable information from the registered resolvers for Pageable and Sort.
Extended PageableResourceAssemblerArgumentResolver to create a special MethodParameterAwarePagedResourcesAssembler so that the assembler will take qualifier information into account when being injected into controller methods.
Upgraded to Spring HATEOAS 0.9.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT to be able to benefit from new methods added to MethodParameters as well as the LinkTemplate class. Updated Sonargraph architecture definition to allow the web layer to access logging.
Turned the static cache of RepositoryInformations in RepositoryFactorySupport into a non-static one to avoid the instance from potentially surviving redeployments in web app scenarios.
We now also set a resource pattern on the ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider to limit the scanning for custom implementations even more and thus avoid reading a lot of unnecessary class files.
The CDI extension now eagerly instantiates repository beans that are annotated with the newly introduced @Eager annotation. This is necessary to prevent the initialization procedure from interfering with potentially already executed business logic.
To achieve this CdiRepositoryExtensionSupport provides a new method registerBean(…) that has to be called by store implementations. The extension will then keep track of beans that require eager initialization and trigger it when the container has finished validation.
Changed the design of RepositoryBeanDefinitionBuilder to receive stable dependencies in the constructor and the moving parts as method arguments. This enables us to reuse the builder instance for the creation of all repository bean definitions. Most importantly that means we can use a single CachingMetadataReaderFactory instance which will avoid reading files again when looking for custom implementation classes.
Adapted clients for XML configuration and JavaConfig accordingly.
The auditing subsystem now supports the usage of JDK 8 date time types when running on Spring 4.0.1 or better. To achieve that switched to use the DefaultFormattingConversionService which registers the relevant converters needed. We also modified the SPI CurrentDateTimeProvider to return a Calendar instance as it carries time-zone information to be able to convert the instance into time-zone based JDK 8 date/time types.
This also allows us to make the use of JodaTime optional and only rely on it in case of the usage of Auditable or any of the JodaTime types used in the annotation based scenario. Added support to set LocalDateTime as well.
Removed the unnecessary type arguments for AuditingHandler so that the setter taking an AuditorAware<T> can be successfully wired against implementations other than AuditorAware<Object> with Spring 4. The type argument was superfluous anyway as internally the type wasn't referred to and the handler is not used on a by-type basis.
We're now replacing the sort parameter for the URI to be created instead of simply appending them to the source URI to prevent previously applied sort parameters to be taken forward.
The PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver and SortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver now transparently ignore invalid values provided for page number, size and sort. We fall back to ignore the invalid values (for sort) and fall back to the defaults where appropriate (page number and size).
Used and adapted test cases from pull request #48.
Previously we did only support ordering by a string or property path through Sort. In order to be able to express more type safe ordering expressions we introduce QSort as a subclass of Sort that is able to wrap QueryDSL OrderSpecifiers. To be able to separate the concerns of sorting via QueryDSL expressions better we introduce the AbstractPageRequest base class and QPageRequest as a special implementation that accepts a QSort or OrderSpecifiers for ordering.
Original pull request: #59.
We now resolve the domain and id-types eagerly within the constructor of AbstractRepositoryMetadata implementations to prevent a RepositoryMetadata instance to be created in an invalid state. Pulled-up repositoryInterface property to AbstractRepositoryMetadata.
Original pull request: #58.
Suppress deprecation warnings for GenericTypeResolver for now. Added Simple(Property|Association)Handler to ease working with untyped PersistentProperty instances without having to fall back to raw types. Polished Sonargraph architecture description.
Pulled up the method declaration from AnnotationBasedProperty as it's useful to be able to inspect a property for annotations being configured on it independently from whether the persistent mapping of it has been defined via annotations or not.
Expose isAnnotationPresent(…) as well to ease quick checks for an annotation.
The detection of CRUD methods in DefaultCrudMethods is now carried out in a more robust and predictable fashion. The exact algorithm is described in the JavaDoc.
Original pull request: #55.
Instead of creating a new DefaultRepositoryInformation for each call to getRepositoryInformation(…) we now actively cache the created instances per repository type and custom implementation class.
Spring 3.2.5 made AnnotationConfigUtils.processCommonDefinitionAnnotations(…) public so that we can call it directly instead of invoking it via reflection.
Basic infrastructure for supporting annotation based auditing configuration.
Introduces AuditingBeanDefinitionRegistrarSupport for store specific auditing configuration enhancements. An AuditorAware instance is wired into the Auditing handler automatically if it's present in the ApplicationContext. The auditorAwareRef attribute of the enabling annotation can be used to disambiguate in case multiple AuditorAware instances are present in the configuration.
Original pull requests: #26, #53.
