Spring data for CouchDB?

[Eric B]

I come from a java/JPA background and am quite familiar with RDBMS. In the
past I've always used JPA with spring-data-JPA to act as a middle layer,
providing my repository pattern, etc. Am I able to use spring data with
CouchDB? I see there is a spring-data-couchbase, but I do not know if it
is compatible with CouchDB.

If not, what does everybody use to provide DAO/repository pattern? Custom
code?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Eric,

welcome to Apache CouchDB :).

I would like to give you a short info because I read "spring-data-couchbase"
in your email. Couchbase is different form Apache CouchDB. Here you are
writing to the Apache CouchDB Open Source Project :). If you are using
Couchbase, please refer to the appropriate resource (
http://www.couchbase.com/).

Regarding your question: Apache CouchDB itself does not provide any clients
or wrappers but there is a huge bunch of clients and wrappers available. A
good entry point is http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Related_Projects. On the
other hand, CouchDB offers a very simple HTTP API - so basically you just
need HTTP to communicate with CouchDB.

And finally, if you write something by yourself, you are welcome to share
it here or at d...@couchdb.apache.org :).

Cheers

Andy

Hello Eric,

As Andy wrote, CouchBD HTTP API is really simple to interact with. Basically
with Spring you will only need RestTemplate to communicate and Jackson to
translate your objects in JSON. Here is a code sample showing how to save a
new object: ​http://pastebin.com/s3au8Vgp
