I have created a Spring Data Rest projection (not an excerpt projection) and need to add some links to it only as these links do not hold significance with other projections
It seems it is possible just to create a ResourceProcessor
dedicated to a projection and I could create 3 ResourceProcessors
one for each projection and one for entity itself and they get called depending on which projection is mentioned in URL.
@Component
public class UserProjectionResourceProcessor
implements ResourceProcessor<Resource<UserProjection>> {
public static final String CANCEL_REL = "cancel";
@Autowired
private EntityLinks entityLinks;
@Override
public Resource<UserProjection> process(Resource<UserProjection> resource) {
UserProjection userProjection = resource.getContent();
resource.add(entityLinks.linkFor(User.class).withRel(CANCEL_REL));
return resource;
}
}
