Spring MySQL

Introduction

While Spring has always had first class support for relational databases, this page introduces a new Spring Data project - Spring Data JPA. Spring Data JPA reduces the effort to implement data access layers for JPA based applications. As a developer you write your repository interfaces, including custom finder methods, and Spring will provide the implementation automatically. Note, this approach is not limited to JPA and has been applied to other persistance stores such as MongoDB and Neo4j as part of the Spring MongoDB and Spring Neo4j projects.

For an introduction to Spring JPA read the blog Getting Started with Spring Data JPA and the release announcements for the M1 and M2 releases.
