Update a resource with associations in spring-data-rest

Question

Let's say I have a AFolder class with name, description and a List<AFile> as an attribute. Now assume that I have created a AFolder object with its list of AFile populated. If I try to update using PUT/PATCH with something like {"name": "new name", "description": "new description"} then the list of AFile came back empty

How to resolve this problem?

Looks like you're running into this issue which has been fixed in Spring Data REST 2.1.1.

Thanks a lot. My code works after updating spring-data-rest to the latest version. :) – wakandan Jul 10 '14 at 04:08

The weird thing is that I got this situation too when I use Spring Data Rest 2.2.0.RELEASE, and resolved this problem when changed the version to 2.1.1.
