@JsonTypeInfo is missing from Spring Data REST Repositories HAL+JSON output [DATAREST-405]

Hendy Irawan opened DATAREST-405 and commented

Example entity:

@Entity
@Table(
	uniqueConstraints=@UniqueConstraint(name="foursquareid_unique", columnNames="foursquareid")
)
@JsonTypeInfo(use=com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonTypeInfo.Id.NAME, property="type")
@JsonSubTypes(@com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonSubTypes.Type(name="Place", value=Place.class))
public class Place {

However there's no type in the HAL+JSON output:

{
    "_links": {
        "next": {
            "href": "http://localhost:8080/places?page=1&size=20"

        },

        }

                    }
                }
            },
...

This happens with Spring Data REST Repository. If I create my own @RestController and return Place object then the type shows up

Affects: 2.1.4 (Dijkstra SR4)
