Incorrect link to association resource [DATAREST-558]

Luan Nguyen opened DATAREST-558 and commented

The reference URL above was about the embedding resource, but the problem happening on the main, not embedding resource as well. Here is how you can reproduce:

class Person {

    private String name;

    @OneToMany(mappedBy="person", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    private List<Address> addresses;
}

public class Address {

    private String zip;

    @ManyToOne
    private Person person;
}

Define an empty repository for Person:

public interface PersonRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository<Person, Long> { }

Do not have a repository for Address. Here is the output you get when POST-ing a Person and GET-ing it back. Please note that the _links contains a strange rel person to /persons/1/person which is incorrect.

C:\test>curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{  "name" : "Frodo" }' http://localhost:8084/persons

C:\test>curl http://localhost:8084/persons/1
{
  "name" : "Frodo",
  "addresses" : [ ],
  "_links" : {
    "self" : {
      "href" : "http://localhost:8084/persons/1"
    },
    "person" : {
      "href" : "http://localhost:8084/persons/1/person"
    }
  }
}
