I have been working on a customer GemFire issue for State Farm and recently put together a project containing a few example applications that show how to properly configure a GemFire client and server cache topology using both Spring config as well as GemFire's native config.
If you are working with Pivotal GemFire, or Apache Geode, and use Spring (and specifically Spring Boot) to enrich your applications, then you can refer to these examples if you are setting up a client/server topology too. The configurations are pretty basic and essentially show you how to accomplish the same configuration 4 different ways (with and without Spring and using either Java or XML). https://github.com/jxblum/pivotal-gemfire-clientserver-examples Cheers! -John
