Wrong href with ManyToOne and FetchType.LAZY [DATAREST-1303]

Thomas Schuh opened DATAREST-1303 and commented

We have one entity called SignalRequest with a property signal:

@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private Signal signal;

When we do a GET:

http://localhost:8080/api/v1/signalRequests/1/signal

the wrong href is returned (singular instead of plural):

"_links": {
        "self": {
            "href": "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/signal/2"
        },
        "signal": {
            "href": "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/signal/2"
        },
        "signalRequests": {
            "href": "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/signal/2/signalRequests",
            "templated": true
        }
}

With Spring Boot 2.0.6 href was correctly returned. The only workaround we have at the moment is to remove lazy fetch type.

Affects: 3.1.2 (Lovelace SR2)
