Spring Data Rest and Rest Controller together

Question

I'm using Spring Data Rest and have @RepositoryRestResource defined with the path is "pathXYZ" . Now I have a class with @RestController and defined a @GetMapping with "pathXYZ/custom" .

It seems "pathXYZ/custom" is not able to serve.

If I changed "pathXYZ/custom" to "pathABC/custom" , it is working as normal.

Is that the way to have @RestController and @RespositoryRestResource working on the same 'base' context path?

Answer 1

What you need is to annotate your MVC Controller with @RepositoryRestController instead of @RestController
