Extracted KeySpaceUtils from KeyValueTemplate and pulled in the copy of MetaAnnotationUtils to hide it from the outside. Separated related test cases into dedicated test class. Renamed BasicMappingContext to KeyValueMappingContext and BasicPersistentProperty to KeyValuePersistentProperty. Fixed spelling in SpelQueryCreatorUnitTests. Moved MappingContext into separate package to satisfy architectural guidelines. Created dedicated KeyValueRepositoryNamespaceHandler to avoid a circular reference between commons and the key-value subsystem. Made the query creator type an annotation on @EnableKeyValueRepositories so that it's not exposed to the user to be configured. Added the necessary ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrars to the Hazelcast and EhCache implementation. Removed @since tags from those modules at they're not going to make it into Spring Data Commons. Renamed EnableEhCacheRepsotoriesUnitTests to EnableEhCacheRepositoriesIntegrationTests as well as the same for the Hazelcast specific test. The KeyValueRepositoryConfigurationExtension now explicitly registers a KeyValueMappingContext unless one is already registered. AnnotationRepositoryConfigurationSource now explicitly exposes an AnnotationMetadata instance for the annotation that triggered the configuration. Turned SpelCriteriaAccessor and SpelPropertyComparator into classes to be able to pass them a SpelExpressionParser to be able to get rid of SpelExpressionFactory eventually. Made both classes as well as SpelQueryEngine package protected for now. Moved repository implementations into support package. Updated architcture description JavaDoc polish, spacing, blank lines. Added TODOs. Original pull request: #95.
Spring Data Commons
Spring Data Commons is part of the umbrella Spring Data project that provides shared infrastructure across the Spring Data projects. It contains technology neutral repository interfaces as well as a metadata model for persisting Java classes.
Features
- Powerful Repository and custom object-mapping abstractions
- Support for cross-store persistence
- Dynamic query generation from query method names
- Implementation domain base classes providing basic properties
- Support for transparent auditing (created, last changed)
- Possibility to integrate custom repository code
- Easy Spring integration with custom namespace
Building the project
Prerequisites
- Maven 3
- Java 7 (the project produces Java 6 compatible bytecode but partially integrates with Java 7)
$ git clone https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-commons.git
$ cd spring-data-commons
$ mvn clean install
Getting Help
This README as well as the reference documentation are the best places to start learning about Spring Data Commons.
The main project website contains links to basic project information such as source code, JavaDocs, Issue tracking, etc.

Here are some ways for you to get involved in the community:
- Create JIRA tickets for bugs and new features and comment and vote on the ones that you are interested in.
- Github is for social coding: if you want to write code, we encourage contributions through pull requests from forks of this repository. If you want to contribute code this way, please reference a JIRA ticket as well covering the specific issue you are addressing.
- Watch for upcoming articles on Spring by subscribing to springframework.org
Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to sign the contributor's agreement. Signing the contributor's agreement does not grant anyone commit rights to the main repository, but it does mean that we can accept your contributions, and you will get an author credit if we do. Active contributors might be asked to join the core team, and given the ability to merge pull requests.
