Spring Data Rest using Jackson snake_case naming strategy [DATAREST-1361]

What

Using :

• spring.jackson.property-naming-strategy: SNAKE_CASE
• spring-boot-starter-data-rest

I run into a

`

JSON parse error: Cannot construct instance of net.bugreport.domain.entities.SomethingCamelCase (although at least one Creator exists): no String-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from String value ('/something_camel_cases/1'); nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.MismatchedInputException: Cannot construct instance of net.bugreport.domain.entities.SomethingCamelCase (although at least one Creator exists): no String-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from String value ('/something_camel_cases/1'){quote`}

What I expect to be able to do the following :

{{POST /something_containing_camel_cases
{
"something_camel_case": "/something_camel_cases/1"
}
}}

while having my @Entity named according to Java conventions (camelCase)

Done so far

I set up a small GitHub repository to give a minimal reproducible example : https://github.com/hypr2771/naming-strategy-issue.

I analyzed org.springframework.data.rest.webmvc.json.PersistentEntityJackson2Module.AssociationUriResolvingDeserializerModifier#updateBuilder which is responsible for my issue :

Indeed, when getting the com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.SettableBeanProperty, the name of the property is its JSON name, which is snake_case.

Whereas when looking for org.springframework.data.mapping.model.BasicPersistentEntity#getPersistentProperty, it cannot find it since in org.springframework.data.mapping.model.BasicPersistentEntity#propertyCache, the name is camelCase.

Code

As code is pretty heavy, containing pom.xml, few classes and their repositories, a test case and the @SpringBootApplication, naming strategy and a data set, I set up a GitHub repository to store it.

Repository on GitHub is available here for anyone to fork and get the error.

You simply have to run the net.bugreport.domain.repositories.SomethingContainingCamelCaseRepositoryTest#create test case

Affects: 3.1.6 (Lovelace SR6)
