Spring Data Rest & Spring Data Envers: How to expose REST API for Repository that extends Revision Repository

Question

I'm having a problem to expose RevisionRepository (Spring Data Envers) endpoints for my repository which extends RevisionRepository as below :

    @RepositoryRestResource(path = "disciplines", itemResourceRel = "disciplines")
    public interface DisciplineRepository extends
        RevisionRepository<Discipline, Integer, Integer>,
        CrudRepository<Discipline, Integer>{

        @RestResource(path = "findByName", rel = "findByName")
        List<Discipline> findByName(String name);

    }

Only findByName method is exposed, is there any other way to expose the methods in RevisionRepository? I've also tried to override those methods in DisciplineRepository but it doesn't work.

Thank You...

You'll have to write a custom controller method to implement this, something like the following:

@Autowired
private DisciplineRepository disciplineRepository; 

@RequestMapping(value = "/disciplines/{id}/changes", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ResponseEntity<Resource<RevisionsObject>> getDisciplineRevisions(@PathVariable(value = "id")Discipline discipline) {
    if (discipline != null) {
        Revisions<Integer, Discipline> disciplineRevisions = disciplineRepository.findRevisions(discipline.getId());
        return new ResponseEntity<>(new Resource<>(disciplineRevisions), HttpStatus.OK);
    } else {
        throw new ResourceNotFoundException();
    }
}
