Spring Data Rest 2.4 doesn't work with {?page,size,sort} links - spring-data-rest

Question

I've faced with the following problem:
Spring Data Rest version: org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-webmvc:2.4.0.RELEASE
When i perform the query: http://localhost:8080/data/entities/ - the base query for my Rest servlet.
It produces the links for all entities i have. The links has the following standard form:
"entityA": {
"href": "http://localhost:8080/data/entities/entitiA{?page,size,sort}",
"templated": true
}
When i try to perform the generated link:
http://localhost:8080/data/entities/entitiA{?page,size,sort}
I have 404 NotFound exception.
But when i execute
http://localhost:8080/data/entities/entitiA
it works fine.
Do you have any ideas about it or could you suggest any solution to execute links in the format:
http://localhost:8080/data/entities/entitiA{?page,size,sort}
Thanks!

Sometimes it is worth to look at the documentation ;-)
http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/2.4.0.RELEASE/reference/html/#paging-and-sorting
{?page,size,sort} is a template. It tells you which request parameters the resource supports. You are not supposed to use a templated link as it is in the response - you expand it first.
So a request like this should be working
http://localhost:8080/cars/data/entities/entitiA?page=1&size=20
