Spring Boot Pivotal Cloud Cache Demo

The following demo shows how to use Pivotal Cloud Cache from a Spring Boot application.

Steps

• Create a Pivotal Cloud Cache service instance as shown below

$ cf create-service p-cloudcache extra-small pas-pcc
Creating service instance pas-pcc in org pivot-papicella / space development as papicella@pivotal.io...
OK

Create in progress. Use 'cf services' or 'cf service pas-pcc' to check operation status.

• Install Spring Cloud GemFire Connector dependencies into your local Maven repo:

$ git clone -b v1.1.0 https://github.com/pivotal-cf/spring-cloud-gemfire-connector.git  
$ cd spring-cloud-gemfire-connector  
$ gradle clean install

• Connect to your PCC service using GemFire GFSH as shown below and create the "employee" region

gfsh>create region --name=employee --type=PARTITION
              Member                | Status
----------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------
cacheserver-PCF-PEZ-Heritage-RP04-1 | Region "/employee" created on "cacheserver-PCF-PEZ-Heritage-RP04-1"
cacheserver-PCF-PEZ-Heritage-RP04-3 | Region "/employee" created on "cacheserver-PCF-PEZ-Heritage-RP04-3"
cacheserver-PCF-PEZ-Heritage-RP04-0 | Region "/employee" created on "cacheserver-PCF-PEZ-Heritage-RP04-0"
cacheserver-PCF-PEZ-Heritage-RP04-2 | Region "/employee" created on "cacheserver-PCF-PEZ-Heritage-RP04-2"

• clone the project code as follows

$ git clone https://github.com/papicella/SpringBootPCCDemo.git

• Package as shown below

$ cd SpringBootPCCDemo
$ mvn package

  random-route: true
  path: ./target/springboot-pcc-demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
