Custom Serializer renders the unwrapped content property of resource type [DATAREST-504]

Andreas Taube opened DATAREST-504 and commented

Serializing a entity with a custom serializer (JsonSerializer, StdSerializer) leads to the problem that the "content" property of the resource type gets rendered. The property should actually be unwrapped. A detailed description can be found here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22613143/different-json-output-when-using-custom-json-serializer-in-spring-data-rest

I'm aware that this relates actually to the normal Jackson behaviour of the @JsonUnwrapped annotation and using an UnwrappingBeanSerializer solves this issue but there is lot's of boilerplate code needed to get things going for a simple serializer. Could this not be simplified somehow?
