1. Configuration

Nothing to configure at the moment.

Dependency :

• Security starter

caution

At the moment, this starter only accepts @RequestMapping annotation to work fine.

2. Autoconfiguration

Starter autoconfigures an IResourceService that helps to expose HATEAOS links according to security access configuration.

3. How to

If your controller manages a single POJO, implements IResourceController <T\>.

In its toResource method, define all links using an autowired IResourceService regardless security authorization. Only authorized links will be really exposed.

Sample :

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/pojos")
public class MyPojoController implements IResourceController<MyPojo> {
	...
	@Autowired
	private IResourceService resourceService;
	...
    @ResourceAccess(description = "List all pojos")
    @GetMapping
    public ResponseEntity<List<Resource<MyPojo>>> getPojos() {
        final List<MyPojo> pojos = ...
        return ResponseEntity.ok(toResources(pojos));
    }
	...
    @ResourceAccess(description = "Get a pojo")
    @GetMapping("/{pPojoId}")
    public ResponseEntity<Resource<MyPojo>> getPojo(@PathVariable Long pPojoId) {
        final MyPojo pojo = ...
        return ResponseEntity.ok(toResource(pojo));
    }
	...
	@Override
    public Resource<MyPojo> toResource(MyPojo pPojo) {
        final Resource<MyPojo> resource = resourceService.toResource(pPojo);
        resourceService.addLink(resource, this.getClass(), "getPojo", LinkRels.SELF,
                                MethodParamFactory.build(Long.class, pPojo.getId()));
        ...
        return resource;
    }
}
