BasePathAwareController and serailization of lazy-loaded collections in projections [DATAREST-646]

Holger Müller opened DATAREST-646 and commented

In my project I make use of @BasePathAwareController's to provide extensions to my SDR repositories. Everything works fine until I include projections over lazy-loaded collections of persistent entities. SDR than fails to serialize the response body with a LazyIntializationException.
I found, that the error does not occur if I annotate my controller with the equivalent but internal @RepositoryRestController annotation. Also the default serialization pipeline does not seem to be affected because the projections are serialized correctly when I query against the default repository endpoints. I've provided a testable version of the example project under the reference URL above

Affects: 2.3.1 (Fowler SR1), 2.4 RC1 (Gosling)
