Spring Data JPA Examples on Spring by Example

I've just updated Spring by Example to have two Spring Data JPA examples. One has basic repository use and shows how to make some custom queries, and the other one shows how to use Spring Data JPA auditing. All of the main webapps using JPA were updated to use Spring Data JPA and all JPA examples were updated to use Hibernate 4.1. I ran into issues updating the Hibernate template examples, so they will stay on Hibernate 3.6.

There were other miscellaneous updates. The AJAX tiles work in the web flow examples wasn't working so I removed it for now.

I'll be continuing to work on REST and UI examples, using ExtJS and Sencha Touch.

SpringOne & Spring By Example Update

I've just updated Spring by Example to Spring 3.1 and Java 6. The new Spring by Example Repository is on GitHub.

Here are some general comments about the latest release. The Maven group and artifact IDs have been changed back to standard Maven naming and also all project dependencies (no OSGi ones in standard examples). The project is now one large multi-module project structure to make it easier to maintain and upgrade releases. Originally the goal was to have standalone projects so it was easier for someone to get started, but I don't have time to maintain the project this way anymore.

The GWT examples have been removed from the documentation and are not in git. If I have time in the future I may add them back, but I'll be focusing on some standard JS UI examples. The Spring dm Server (OSGi) examples have not been updated, but are still available in the documentation. They still located in Subversion since I won't actively try to maintain them anymore. Spring by Example JDBC has been removed and all projects (except for OSGi ones) have been changed to use the Spring JDBC Custom Namespace. Between the this namespace and Spring Data JPA, nothing is really necessary in this module. I'll be starting on a Spring Data JPA example next week.
