Custom Controller + changed base path doesn't show up in HAL [DATAREST-748]

Hi, I've created a custom controller to access a custom repository. I use ControllerLinkBuilder to add a link to the resource in HAL when accessing the root, and also change the base path to "/api". I cannot get a correct link (under /api) to show up in HAL for the custom controller.

What I've tried:

1. Using @RequestMapping("/samples"). HAL link is correct (http://localhost/api/samples), but it also serves the request on http://localhost/samples because of the RequstMappingHandler. I need everything outside of /api to go to React, so that won't work for me
2. Using @BaseAwareController. The self-contained repro has this. It works only if @RequestMapping is also set.
3. Leaving off @RequestMapping on the type, but including it on the methods. The /api endpoints work perfectly, but HAL only shows http://localhost

I've included a completely self-contained repro with unit tests to show what I expect: https://github.com/ghilios/SDR-HATEOAS-issue
