URI template with '*' for parameters that support multiple values [DATACMNS-780]

[spring-projects-issues]

Mirco Andreon opened DATACMNS-780 and commented

Hello,
I created a search service like this for my resource:

List<Booking> findByStatusIn(@Param("status") Collection<BookingStatus> status);

Hence it allows multiple values for parameter "status".
When I invoke http://localhost:8080/myapp/rest/myresources I get:

{
  "_links" : {
    "findByStatusIn" : {
      "href" : "http://localhost:8080/myapp/rest/myresources/search/findByStatusIn{?status}",
      "templated" : true
    }
  }
}

This seems incorrect, since the "href" should be "http://localhost:8080/myapp/rest/myresources/search/findByStatusIn{?status*}, that is include an asterisk after the parameter name. This comes from RFC 6570 as stated here traverson/traverson#41

Needs to be fixed in Spring HATEOAS first with a follow up fix in Spring Data Commons

Any update on this issue? I am struggling to figure out how to specify multiple sort params with spring data's Traverson Java client. It looks like it's currently not possible to do this.
