Adding RequestMapping("/**") overrides spring data rest base path [DATAREST-940]

Florian opened DATAREST-940 and commented

Hello,

I have a simple Spring Boot app with a CrudRepository annotated with @RepositoryRestResource to enable REST services on that repository.

I also customized the REST API base path with the following configuration:

spring:
  data:
    rest:
      base-path: /api

In the other hand, I got a custom @RestController with @RequestMapping("/**") because my app need to catch all pathes (except the /api path).

The thing is, /** is matching everything even my API path. So I'am unable to request my API.

Is that the desired behavior ?
Is there any way to make /** not matching /api, or make the RepositoryRestResource match first ?

I tried the following without success:

@Configuration
public class WebMvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
        registry.setOrder(Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE);
        super.addResourceHandlers(registry);
    }

}

Affects: 2.5.4 (Hopper SR4)
