This change permanently removes links from the endpoints that return
arrays or collections, and also disables them in the rest of the
endpoints (except /actuator) by default.
Fixes gh-4616
Update the samples and integration tests to use Java 8. There's no
specific reason to keep them on Java 6 and it helps keep Eclipse happy
if we upgrade.
Given that Spring Boot uses java config accross the board, a new `value`
attribute is now aliased to the existing `classes` attribute such that
one could write the following:
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(MyConfig.class)
public class MyTest {}
Closes gh-3635
Update LinksMvcEndpoint and HalBrowserMvcEndpoint so that no longer try
to use the `/` context path. Links are now available from `/links` and
the HAL browser is available from `/hal`.
The actuator HAL browser now works with either WebJars or the Spring
Data version. It also now transforms the initial HTML so that the
form is pre-populated with `/links`.
When using Spring Data's HAL browser, the root includes a link to
`/links` with a rel of `actuator`.
See gh-3621
When Spring Data REST is owning the home page it has its own
HandlerMapping with a fix (relatively) low priority. The /links
endpoint wants to own the home page as well, and our handler mapping
has a high priority for good reasons. This change addresses the
issue by checking if Spring Data REST is configured and if
the management context path (or more specifically, the links
endpoint) is the same as the home page.
Fixes gh-3486
If spring-hateoas is on the classpath and an MvcEndpoint returns a
@ResponseBody it will be extended and wrapped into a Resource with links.
All the existing endpoints that return sensible JSON data can be extended
this way (i.e. not /logfile). The HAL browser will also be added as an
endpoint if available on the classpath. Finally, asciidocs for the
Actuator endpoints are available as a separate jar file, which if
included in an app will also generate a new (HTTP) endpoint.
Fixes gh-1390
