Description

Originally we had one bean object for jobs and one for links that was able to transfer one or more links/jobs. It seems that current code base has separated that into LinkBean for one object and LinksBean for multiple objects (same for job). Searching git and JIRA history I did not find proper discussion nor reasoning for this change. I see several challenges with this concept:

• It's making one REST interface return different types depending on input values
• It's making both client and server code difficult because we have to separate the cases everywhere

It seems that this new concept has been extended to all returnable objects (Connectors, links, jobs, privileges, ...), so the change will be quite intrusive. Any objections if I return it back?
