Description
Hi,
My start endpoint is has one path parameter and I want to create a self link to itself couldn't find an appropriate way to provide in ResourceAssembler. I don't want to create links in controller and want assembler does it and return a fully enriched resource to controller.
- Now first option is to create a instance variable pathParameters of type Object[] and then from controller set all path parameters but in that case my method declaration in controller would have to define all path variables in signature.
- Or should add an overloaded version of toResource(Entity, Object[])
To create a self link why should I need to provide any variable, is there any way how this can be achieved.
