spring-projects/spring-data-commons

Spring Data Commons is a foundational framework that provides a unified, type-safe repository abstraction for data access across diverse storage backends. It offers a comprehensive set of domain models, conversion utilities, and mapping infrastructure to handle entity state, auditing, and property paths. The system also supports advanced query execution, projection, and web integration, while providing robust Ahead-of-Time (AOT) and native image support for modern Java and Kotlin development.

This period focused on significantly expanding the Spring Data Commons library with new abstractions for auditing, history tracking, and domain modeling. The work introduced comprehensive support for reactive programming, AOT processing, and web integration, while also migrating to Jakarta EE 9. A major effort was dedicated to adding extensive unit and integration tests across all new and refactored components.

This period focused on expanding the framework's support for reactive programming models and Kotlin, introducing new repository interfaces for Project Reactor, RxJava 3, and Kotlin Coroutines. It also added comprehensive geospatial data types, formatters, and serialization modules, while significantly enhancing the SpEL evaluation context with new extension points and the Entity Callback API for lifecycle hooks.

This period focused on introducing Ahead-of-Time (AOT) processing infrastructure for Spring Data repositories, including runtime hints and code generation support for native image builds. Simultaneously, the project implemented type-safe property path references and Kotlin-specific APIs to improve compile-time safety and performance.
