Issue with Spring data JPA and Spring data rest

[Applebee]

Hello,

I'm using Spring data JPA, Spring data rest and created one entity and repository by following the tutorial.

Is there any way to block the crud operations?

For example, Using beforeDelete I am able to block the DELETE operation but getting the unexpected error code as "500 validation error" sometimes getting "500 Internal server error".

I want the error message to be displayed as "405 Method not allowed"

Can anyone help with any ideas. Thanks

There is already an attribute on the @RestResource annotation to disable a method. In the latest RC, that only affects query methods. If you want to create an issue in JIRA [1] for it, I can extend that switch to any crud methods as well.

You'd just override that method in your own repository interface and add @RestResource(exported=false) to it:

public interface MyEntityRepository extends CrudRepository<MyEntity,Long> {

  @RestResource(exported = false)
  @Override public void delete(Long id);

}

Right now the controller doesn't check for this annotation on crud methods, but it would be relatively easy to add. I can also create an issue if you don't want to. Just let me know so we don't have duplicates...

Oops. I see you've created an issue on Github. That should work fine. Disregard what I said earlier about JIRA.
