Following relation of embedded object results in HTTP NOT FOUND error [DATAREST-355]

If you have an entity with an embedded object that has relations, those relations don't work, they result in an HTTP 404 error.

I've attached a Maven project with a failing junit test case showing the problem.

e.g. country is part of address. The test:country relation is broken. However, test:customerType works fine.

{
  "name" : "Somebody",
  "address" : {
    "address1" : "Somewhere"
  },
  "_links" : {
    "self" : {
      "href" : "http://localhost/customers/1"
    },
    "test:customerType" : {
      "href" : "http://localhost/customers/1/customerType"
    },
    "test:country" : {
      "href" : "http://localhost/customers/1/country"
    },
    "curies" : [ {
      "href" : "http://localhost:8080/test/{rel}",
      "name" : "test",
      "templated" : true
    } ]
  }
}

Also, why does the relation appear "outside" of the embedded object? I haven't tried it, but what happens if I have two embedded objects of the same type? How do I tell which relation relates to which embedded object?

Affects: 2.1.1 (Dijkstra SR1)
