Spring Content

Cloud-Native Content Services for Spring.

Spring Content provides modules for managing content in JPA, MongoDB's GridFS, S3 or Filesystem storage. When combined with Spring Data/REST it allows content to be associated with Spring Data Entities. The Solr module provides an integration with Apache Solr for fulltext indexing and search capabilities. The Renditions module provides a pluggable renditions framework and several out-of-the-box renderers that can render stored content in several different formats.

Reporting Issues

Spring Content uses GitHub's integrated issue tracking system to record bugs and feature
requests. If you want to raise an issue, please follow the recommendations below:

• Before you log a bug, please search the issue tracker
  to see if someone has already reported the problem.
• If the issue doesn't already exist, create a new issue.
• Please provide as much information as possible with the issue report, we like to know
  the version of Spring Content that you are using, as well as your Operating System and
  JVM version.
• If you need to paste code, or include a stack trace use Markdown ``` escapes
  before and after your text.
• If possible try to create a test-case or project that replicates the issue.

Building from Source

You don't need to build from source to use Spring Content (binaries in
https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/), but if you want to try out the latest and
greatest, Spring Content can be easily built with the
maven wrapper. You also need JDK 1.8.

$ BUILD_TYPE=dev ./mvnw clean install

If you want to build with the regular mvn command, you will need
Maven v3.2.1 or above.

Also see CONTRIBUTING.md if you wish to submit pull requests,
and in particular please fill out the Contributor's License Agreement before your first change, however trivial.

Building reference documentation

The reference documentation can be included in the build by specifying the docs profile.

$ BUILD_TYPE=dev ./mvnw -P docs clean install 

TIP: The generated documentation is available from spring-content/target/generated-docs/refs/dev/

Guides

The https://paulcwarren.github.io/spring-content/ site contains several guides that show how to use Spring

• Getting Started with Spring Content is a
  very basic guide that shows you how to create a simple application, backed by a filesystem-based content store.
• Getting Started with Spring Content REST is a guide that shows you how to create a REST Content Service backed by a filesystem-based content store
  can be configured.
