Class DomainObjectReader

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.data.rest.webmvc.json.DomainObjectReader
public class DomainObjectReader extends Object
Component to apply an ObjectNode to an existing domain object. This is effectively a best-effort workaround for Jackson's inability to apply a (partial) JSON document to an existing object in a deeply nested way. We manually detect nested objects, lookup the original value and apply the merge recursively.
