Spring Resource Assembler and HATEOAS Resources Multiple Variable References
I am working on REST API using Spring HATEOAS and Spring and I have issues with resource referencing.
Here is my code:
Controller:
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/apporteurs/{idInt}/ribs")
public class RibController {
@Autowired
private RibResourceAssembler ribResourceAssembler;
@Autowired
private RibRepository ribRepository;
/**
* Methode GET permettant d'obtenir un Rib par son ID
*
* @param idRib ID du Rib
* @return RibResource
*/
@RequestMapping(value = "/{idRib}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public RibResource getRibById(@PathVariable Long idInt, @PathVariable Long idRib) {
CurrentUserUtils.checkAuthorizationByApporteur(idInt);
return ribResourceAssembler.toResource(ribRepository.getRibById(idRib));
}
}
Assembler:
@Component
public class RibResourceAssembler extends ResourceAssemblerSupport<Rib, RibResource> {
public static final long TMP_IDS = 1234L;
@Autowired
private RibResourceMapper ribResourceMapper;
public RibResourceAssembler() {
super(RibController.class, RibResource.class);
}
@Override
public RibResource toResource(Rib rib) {
return createResourceWithId(rib.getId(), rib);
}
/**
* TODO : mettre le lien vers l'editique Mandat
*
* @param rib Rib à instancier en Resource.
* @return RibResource
*/
@Override
protected RibResource instantiateResource(Rib rib) {
RibResource ribResource = ribResourceMapper.fromRib(rib, rib.getLastMandat());
ribResource.removeLinks();
CustomUserDetails user = CurrentUserUtils.getCurrentUser();
UriComponentsBuilder uriBuilderMandat = linkTo(RibController.class).toUriComponentsBuilder();
String uri = uriBuilderMandat.path("/{idRib}/mandats/{idMandat}").buildAndExpand(user.getIdInt(), rib.getId(), TMP_IDS).toUriString();
Link linkEditiqueMandat = new Link(uri).withRel("editiqueMandat");
UriComponentsBuilder uriBuilderRib = linkTo(RibController.class).toUriComponentsBuilder();
String uriSelf = uriBuilderRib.path("/{idRib}").buildAndExpand(user.getIdInt(), rib.getId()).toUriString();
Link linkUriSelf = new Link(uriSelf).withSelfRel();
ribResource.add(linkEditiqueMandat);
ribResource.add(linkUriSelf);
return ribResource;
}
}
Resource:
public class RibResource extends ResourceSupport {
private Long idRib;
private String rum;
private String iban;
private String libelle;
private String dateFin;
private String dateCreation;
private String dateModification;
private String codeOperateurCreation;
private String dateRegulationMandat;
private boolean actif;
private boolean reactivable;
private CodeValueResource modeReglement;
/*Gzetter & setters, etc*/
}
As you can see, my controller has some parameters in the URI: idInt and idRib.
So, to create a SelfLink, I have to know these parameters to do something like "/ apporteurs / 1234 / ribs / 1234", but I think the Assembler only wants one parameter and a "simple" URI.
I have a stack trace:
2014-11-25 12:02:09.365 ERROR 20860 --- [nio-9080-exec-1] w.s.m.m.a.ResponseEntityExceptionHandler : Not enough variable values available to expand 'idInt'
So, I'm looking for an elegant solution for this because I didn't find anything ^^
I saw something with ResourceProcessor, but I am not using Spring Data Rest.
Could you help me? Thank you in advance;)
EDIT:
The result should be:
_links": {
"editiqueMandat": {
"href": "http://localhost:9080/apporteurs/6797/mandats/5822"
},
"self": {
"href": "http://localhost:9080/apporteurs/6797/ribs/1234"
}
}
@Override
public RibResource toResource(Rib rib) {
return createResourceWithId(rib.getId(), rib);
}
createResourceWithId()
internally creates its own link based on the controller url. In your case containing a placeholder {idInt}
, so you need to provide a parameter for that:
CustomUserDetails user = CurrentUserUtils.getCurrentUser();
return createResourceWithId(rib.getId(), rib, user.getIdInt());
The best choice would be not to name it at all createResourceWithId()
. Just move everything you now have from instantiateResource()
to toResource()
.
