Self Link wrong when opening a related entity?

[jhiemer]

Hi,
I am not sure if this is a bug, or me having a misunderstanding. When I open up an entity and the according relation then the ouput looks like this:

{
"startDate": 1337687944636,
"sequence": 0,
"_links": [
{
"rel": "entities.Entity.relation",
"href": "http://localhost:8080/rest/relation"
},
{
"rel": "self",
"href": "http://localhost:8080/rest/relation/3839196d-6c95-494b-a405-e6d9f120b252"
}
],
"endDate": 1337687944636,
"type": 0
}

Self links to the parent entity but not the opened entity itself. The according link to that looks like this:
http://localhost:8080/rest/relation/3839196d-6c95-494b-a405-e6d9f120b252/entity/45c7ad65-09e6-45e4-a549-eda11f4f70b4

What I am doing wrong?

Not sure I understand what you're after. "self" doesn't refer to a specific element of a relation, only a top-level entity.

Hi,
let me give an example:
I am calling the entity Car. Then I get the related Tires of the Car, which results in a list of Tires. Having the list of Tires I pick one tire with the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/rest/Car/3839196d-6c95-494b-a405-e6d9f120b252/Tire/45c7ad65-09e6-45e4-a549-eda11f4f70b4

And it returns me the following:

{
"pressure": 10,
"_links": [
{
"rel": "tires.Tire.car",
"href": "http://localhost:8080/rest/car"
},
{
"rel": "self",
"href": "http://localhost:8080/rest/car/3839196d-6c95-494b-a405-e6d9f120b252"
}
],
"type": 0
}

For self I though it should return

"rel" : "self":
"href": "http://localhost:8080/rest/tire/45c7ad65-09e6-45e4-a549-eda11f4f70b4"

Now more understandable?

I see what you're saying. I pushed a change to pass the correct information to the link generator. Snapshot artifacts should be available in a few minutes, when the CI build completes.

Thanks for letting me know! :)
