Wrong rel rendered for entity property [DATAREST-177]

Petar Tahchiev opened DATAREST-177 and commented

Hi guys,

I have an attribute of type MediaFormat inside my Media entity. So the definition looks like this:

@Entity
public class Media {
     .....
     @ManyToOne
     private MediaFormat mediaFormat;
}

and the MediaFormat repository is mapped as:

@RestResource(rel = "media_format", path = "media_format")
public interface MediaFormatRepository {
    ....
}

then spring-data-rest exports that as the following:

{
   "rel" : "mediaFormat",
   "href" : "http://localhost:8111/rest/media/140738176859576896/mediaFormat"
  }

As you can see both the rel and the url contain the name of the attribute (mediaFormat), but not the repository mapping ("media_format"). So when I browsing the model I have no idea what is the type of the rel. Yes, I know it's obvious when it's named mediaModel, but with the same success I could have named it abc
