POST fails, when links : null [DATAREST-47]

[spring-projects-issues]

Johannes Hiemer opened DATAREST-47 and commented

Since the last update fixing the update problem with links, there is a new error. Doing a POST with empty links results in a:

org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException: Property 'links' is not of array type. Either eliminate this property from the document or make it an array.

Adding the links like this:
entity.setLinks(new ArrayList<LinkType>());
and it works, without any issues.

From my point of view it should also work with Links : null

New snapshots are available that will also ignore null values in the "links" property
