@RepositoryRestResource.path should allow more than one path segment [DATAREST-1520]

[spring-projects-issues]

alienisty opened DATAREST-1520 and commented

When creating complex applications, it is useful to group paths related to common concerns, contexts, etc.

Say we have a module "foo" and I want to group all the resources under "foo", I should be able to specify the path as "foo/resource".

I don't see the reason for the current limitation, at least for @RepositoryRestResource

I agree, this would be extremely useful, and don't understand why we need to limit ourselves to flat resources.

Unfortunately that's not possible at the moment as the controllers handling the invocations use /{repository}/… as mapping segment and those are only mapped to single path segments.

I checked old issues too, I've seen that, this feature request still up to date.
