How to set default value of exported as false in rest resource spring data rest

Question

I want to use RestResource annotation of spring data rest. As you know it exposes ALL CRUD methods by default. But I only need findAll method. One way is to set exported val

Answer 1

To extend on the answer of Imran Tahir which helped me - thanks Imran! - you can override this for your entire repository by setting ExposeRepositoryMethodsByDefault to false.

@Component
public class SpringRestConfiguration extends RepositoryRestConfigurerAdapter {
    @Override
    public void configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(RepositoryRestConfiguration config) {
      config.setExposeRepositoryMethodsByDefault(false);
    }
}

The detection strategy can now be set in from your configuration file. (In my case YAML)

spring:
  data:
    rest:
      base-path: /api/base/path
      detection-strategy: annotated

And then in your repository only add @RestResource to (overridden) methods you need to have enabled:

@RepositoryRestResource(collectionResourceRel = "someThing", path = "someThing")
@PreAuthorize("hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN') OR hasRole('ROLE_USER')")
public interface SomeThingRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository {

    @Override
    @RestResource
    Page findAll(Pageable pageable);

    @Override
    @RestResource
    Optional findById(Long aLong);

    // All other methods are not exposed

}
