Cannot expose resource IDs via custom RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration [DATAREST-501]

Hi,

(copied from gs-accessing-mongodb-data-rest#3)

I'm trying to expose resource IDs in my project by using RepositoryRestConfiguration#exposeIdsFor(). It wasn't working in my larger application, so I came all the way back to the starter project to see if I'd messed something up somehow.

But I'm still not able to see IDs in the JSON responses with the following custom configuration:

@Configuration
public class CustomRepositoryRestMvcConfiguration extends SpringBootRepositoryRestMvcConfiguration {

  @Override
  protected void configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(RepositoryRestConfiguration config) {
    config.exposeIdsFor(Person.class);
  }
}

Application.java:

@SpringBootApplication
@Import(CustomRepositoryRestMvcConfiguration.class)
public class Application {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
  }
}

Am I doing something obviously wrong here? All the examples I've found online indicate that this should work. Maybe I've found a regression, but I doubt it.

Here's a link to a fork of the starter project that reproduces the issue (relevant commit: 54be405)

Thanks in advance for any help!

p.s. spring-boot-starter-data-rest and spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb deps are both at 1.2.2.RELEASE
