--------------------------------
Summary: Remove compile dependency on spring data gemfire/geode
Key: GEODE-1025
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-1025
Project: Geode
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: build
Reporter: Dan Smith
We have a compile dependency on spring data gemfire in the ServerLauncher class
to support launching a server using a spring data gemfire configuration instead
of a cache.xml file.
That's a good feature to have, but it should be part of spring data gemfire,
not geode. Because of this compile dependency on SDG, we currently have a
circular dependency on SDG -> Geode -> SDG. That makes it difficult to do
things like rename packages in geode (GEODE-37) because SDG is still using the
old packages.
Instead of directly depending on spring data gemfire, we should provide an
extension point that SDG can plug into to override the cache server startup
behavior.
The easiest place way to do this is just to use the java ServiceLoader
mechanism. We can provide an interface for a plugin that replaces startup
behavior of the server. SDG can provide an implementation of this interface.
