Integration with other modules

If the AdminWebModule is present entity management controllers will be created for all registered entity configurations. If you want to avoid the automatic registration of entity management controllers for a particular entity type, you should set the EntityConfiguration as hidden. This will effectively disable the default entity controllers for that type, and hide the existence of the entity type from the administration interface.

You can also hide one or more associations. By default an association will not be shown if one of the participating entities is hidden. If you specify the hidden property of an EntityAssociation explicitly, that value will take precedence of the entity configurations. This way it is possible to generate management pages for associated entities, but not for the main entity type.

If SpringSecurityModule is present, EntityModule adapts the default views for Auditable entities. The createdBy and lastModifiedBy properties are rendered using an AuditablePrincipalPropertyViewElementBuilder which uses the SecurityPrincipalLabelResolverStrategy to generate a pretty label for a principal (eg. full name instead of username). The default properties are removed from default views, but an aggregated property created and lastModified is added. The aggregated properties combine both the timestamp and the principal in a single property using the AuditablePropertyViewElementBuilder.

See the AuditableEntityUiConfiguration for full customization.
