Brands this project as Spring Boot for Apache Geode and adds a summary for the purpose and intent of this project.
Spring Boot for Apache Geode
Spring Boot for Apache Geode extends Spring Boot with auto-configuration support as well as other convention or configuration features to simplify the development of Spring applications using either Pivotal GemFire or Apache Geode in a Spring context.
This project builds on both Spring Data GemFire and Spring Data Geode.
Project Goals
This project adds Spring Boot auto-configuration support for both Apache Geode and Pivotal GemFire.
Among other things, this project builds on Spring Boot as well as Spring Data GemFire/Geode and additionally offers...
-
Auto-configures a Pivotal GemFire_ or Apache Geode ClientCache instance automatically when either Spring Data GemFire or Spring Data Geode is on the application's CLASSPATH.
-
Auto-configures either Pivotal GemFire or Apache Geode as a caching provider in Spring's Cache Abstraction when either Spring Data GemFire or Spring Data Geode are on the application's CLASSPATH.
-
Auto-configures Spring Data GemFire or Spring Data Geode Repositories when Spring Data GemFire or Spring Data Geode is on the application's CLASSPATH and Spring Boot detects SDG Repositories in your Spring Boot application.
-
Provides additional support for Spring Boot/Spring Data GemFire/Spring Data Geode applications deployed to PCF using either the PCC (Pivotal Cloud Caching) or SSC (Session State Caching) services. Also, when using SSC, you can also take advantage of Spring Session Data GemFire.
-
As an added benefit, Spring Boot Data GemFire will automatically authenticate your Spring Boot, Pivotal GemFire-based application when deployed to PCF and the application is granted access to and connects with a secure PCC instance for all of its caching concerns.
This, along with many other things will be provided in and by this project.
