Description

genglefr opened DATAREST-1448 and commented

Would it possible to configure the exposition in the body of the @Version property?

My case is the following:

@LastModifiedDate
@Version
private Instant modifiedOn;
  • I'm using @Version annotated Instant field
  • This field is useful to know when the entity was modified last time
  • I cannot use the Etag header in collection response body since every entity of the collection has different last modification date

In the default configuration, the resource assembler simply transforms the @Version property into Etag and swallows it from the response body
