Implement type hints for classes about spring-data HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi @christian-lechner ,

thanks again for your contribution. I am also aware of the problem, sadly I had not yet the time to tackle it. The problem is not new with the Spring Data implementation. the Java driver also lacks such a functionality. We have open issues for that in the java-velocypack repo (#1 and #3). But since we are de-/serializing DBDocumentEntity and DBCollectionEntity in the Spring Data module I think a possible solution in the velocypack serializer wouldn't help us here. So we should go with your solution. Would be great if you could look at it. I will try to find some time for this and other issues in the project next week.

Hi @mpv1989 ,
I've started working on the TypeMapper to support inheritance. I will try to submit a pull request till the end of the week.

Hi @mpv1989,
While implementing the TypeMapper I saw that the custom conversions can only convert simple types (e.g. String), but not DBEntity objects. I will include this extension in the upcoming pull request if that's ok for you.

Hello @mpv1989
I've created a pull request: #33. We should discuss implementation details there and close this issue once it is merged.
