POST PUTon associations throws http 405 [DATAREST-777]

Hi,

I'm facing a problem updating the association resources

I have an object record that is related to a person (OneToMany)
and an object Document that is related to n records (ManyToMany)

When I want to delete the association of a person to a record this uri works fine

• uri: http://localhost:8080/records/1/person
• method: DELETE

However when I want to put back the relation to that person then I get http 405: Request method 'PUT' not supported

• uri: http://localhost:8080/records/1/person
• method: PUT
• content type Text
• body http://localhost:8080/persons/1

I get the same problem when trying to add a record to a document

• uri: http://localhost:8080/documents/1/records
• method: POST or PUT
• content type Text
• body http://localhost:8080/document/1

none of these methods seems to be supported

I tried posting the full json containing the associations but no more luck

• uri: http://localhost:8080/documents
• method: POST
• content type: json
• body:

{"label" : "DocumentFlo", "records" : [{ "id": 1, "label" : "Record1" }]}

then I get "Cannot resolve URI id. Is it local or remote? Only local URIs are resolvable"

but in the doc it's mentionned that all those things are possible, am I doing something incorrect?
http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/2.5.0.M1/reference/html/#repository-resources.association-resource

I've attached my sample project

thanks in advance
