Spring Data REST: Easily export JPA entities directly to the web
summary
Spring Data REST exposes JPA repositories as HTTP resources with automatic CRUD, finder endpoints, paging and HATEOAS links; it returns JSON (supports JSONP+E), uses entity version as an ETag, and lets you disable export of methods. Live demo shows creating ads, adding finders, JS R 303 and Spring Validator rules, and receiving repository events wired into Spring Integration and RabbitMQ. Extension points include resource processors, custom Jackson modules and converters; configuration controls base URI, media types and exported rels.
