How to add additional links to the root resource in Spring Data REST?

Question

The spring-data-rest module automatically scans for all repositories in an app and lists them like this:

{
"_links" : {
    "demoRepository" : {
    "href" : "http://localhost/demoRepository{?page,size,sort}",
    "templated" : true
    }
}

However I have some resources that are not backed by a database and don't have repository classes.

How can I add simple resources that have their own controller classes into the above list. Right now the list does not reflect the whole REST api of my app.

You need to implement ResourceProcessor and then add Your custom links to RepositoryLinksResource. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/26118405/4090455
