They were trying to integrate the Neo4j graph database with the Spring Framework and evaluated different approaches. The session created the foundation for what would eventually become the very first version of the Neo4j module of Spring Data, a new SpringSource project aimed at supporting the growing interest in NoSQL data stores, a trend that continues to this day.
Spring has provided sophisticated
support for traditional data access technologies from day one. It
significantly simplified the implementation of data access layers,
regardless of whether JDBC, Hibernate, TopLink, JDO, or iBatis was used as
persistence technology. This support mainly consisted of simplified
infrastructure setup and resource management as well as exception
translation into Spring’s DataAccessExceptions. This
support has matured over the years and the latest Spring versions contained
decent upgrades to this layer of support.
The traditional data access support in Spring has targeted relational databases only, as they were the predominant tool of choice when it came to data persistence. As NoSQL stores enter the stage to provide reasonable alternatives in the toolbox, there’s room to fill in terms of developer support.
