Allow multiple repositories per entity (only one should be exported) [DATAREST-923]

Tim Meißner opened DATAREST-923 and commented

My case is that i have an Entity "User" and two Repositories:

• UserRepository extends CrudRepository, @RepositoryRestResource(exported = false): meant for internal usage by services etc.
• UserRestRepository extends Repository, @RepositoryRestResource(exported = true): meant for external usage, restricted access, etc.

This exports a user resource in 50% of the times i start up the application. I tried to work around this by annotating them with @Order(0/1) for the UserRepository and @Order(1/0) for the UserRestRepository, but it doesn't work.

So I would like to have the possibility to have multiple Repositories for one entity (only one exported but it should not conflict with other normal Repositories that are not exported).

Affects: 2.5.4 (Hopper SR4)
