Get a 404 error with simple spring-data-rest project

Question

I'm trying to configure spring-data-rest over my spring-mvc project, but every time I enter the url to access json of my repository-info - it returns 404. Looks like it doesn't see my spring-data-rest annotation/dependency at all

Here is my pom.xml

Repository:

@RepositoryRestResource(path = "books", collectionResourceRel = "books")
public interface BookRepository extends JpaRepository<Book, Integer> { 

}

And config classes:

public class WebAppInitializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {
    @Override
    protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
        return new Class<?>[]{JPAConfig.class,};
    }

    @Override
    protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
        return new Class[]{WebConfig.class};
    }

    @Override
    protected String[] getServletMappings() {
        return new String[]{"/"};
    }
}

@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackageClasses = BookRepository.class)
@PropertySource("classpath:app.properties")
public class JPAConfig {

    @Autowired
    private Environment environment;

    @Bean
    public DataSource dataSource() {
        DriverManagerDataSource driverManagerDataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
        driverManagerDataSource.setDriverClassName(environment.getProperty("jdbc.driverClassName"));
        driverManagerDataSource.setUrl(environment.getProperty("jdbc.url"));
        driverManagerDataSource.setUsername(environment.getProperty("jdbc.user"));
        driverManagerDataSource.setPassword(environment.getProperty("jdbc.pass"));
        return driverManagerDataSource;
    }

    @Bean
    public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory() {
        LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
        localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean.setPersistenceUnitName("localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean");

        localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean.setDataSource(dataSource());
        localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean.setPackagesToScan(environment.getProperty("entities.scan"));

        JpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
        localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean.setJpaVendorAdapter(vendorAdapter);
        localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean.setJpaPropertyMap(hibernateProperties());

        return localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean;
    }


    @Bean
    public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager(EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory) {
        return new JpaTransactionManager(entityManagerFactory);
    }


    private Map<String, String> hibernateProperties() {
        Map<String, String> hibernateProperties = new HashMap<>();
        hibernateProperties.put("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", environment.getProperty("hb.hbm2ddl.auto"));
        hibernateProperties.put("hibernate.dialect", environment.getProperty("hb.dialect"));
        hibernateProperties.put("hibernate.show_sql", environment.getProperty("hb.show_sql"));
        hibernateProperties.put("hibernate.format_sql", environment.getProperty("hb.format_sql"));
        hibernateProperties.put("hibernate.enable_lazy_load_no_trans", environment.getProperty("hb.enable_lazy_load_no_trans"));
        return hibernateProperties;
    }
}

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackageClasses = {BookController.class, BookService.class})
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

@Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
    registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**").addResourceLocations("/resources/");
}
}

So I enter the next URL "http://localhost:8080/lib-support/books" and have this.

Could anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Okey guys, I found out what the problem was. I created reporitories classes not for all entity classes, as a result - Spring wasn't able to generate appropriate links for relative entities. For example I have Book entity, that have OneToMany mapping to BookCopy entity class, but BookCopyRepository was not exist.
