Greetings Spring Community!

It is my pleasure to announce the first milestone release of both Spring Session Data Geode for Apache Geode and Spring Session Session Data GemFire for Pivotal GemFire.

Both artifacts can be downloaded from Spring’s libs-milestone Repository using Maven …​

  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.session</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-session-data-geode</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0.M1</version>
  </dependency>

Or with Gradle…​

  compile 'org.springframework.session:spring-session-data-geode:2.0.0.M1'

To use Spring Session with Pivotal GemFire, just switch the artifact from spring-session-data-geode to spring-session-data-gemfire…
