Answer 1

For me this link helped: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-hateoas/issues/731

In a nutshell i added to my dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.plugin</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-plugin-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

I had this issue with Swagger + HATEOAS in my spring-boot application.

The fix is given below (edit your Swagger configuration class):

@Configuration
@EnableSwagger2
public class SwaggerConfiguration {

    @Bean
    public LinkDiscoverers discoverers() {
        List<LinkDiscoverer> plugins = new ArrayList<>();
        plugins.add(new CollectionJsonLinkDiscoverer());
        return new LinkDiscoverers(SimplePluginRegistry.create(plugins));

    }
}
