HATEOAS - Does not render _links correctly

Problem:

Server does not add the underscores to the field names and the configuration how to do it correctly is missing for xml based configuration in Jakarta EE environments (war files)

Example:

{"hello":"Hello World","links":[{"rel":"self","href":"http://localhost:8080/hateoas-1.0-SNAPSHOT/mvc/hello-world"}]}

Expected:

• Solution A: There is some documentation how to initialize it correctly in XML based environments
• Solution B: There is an actual bug and the bug is fixed

How to reproduce

Example project:
Repo https://github.com/fabianfrz/spring-hateoas-bug-example
curl http://localhost:8080/hateoas-1.0-SNAPSHOT/mvc/hello-world -H "Accept: application/hal+json"

Additional Information

If the you add the EnableWebMVC annotation, it is starting up, however it seems to configure a different request handler than the one that is actuallly in use. See screenshot. If we don't add the annotation, the augment method is never called.
