Spring Data LDAP 
The primary goal of the Spring Data project is to make it easier to build Spring-powered applications that use new data access technologies such as non-relational databases, map-reduce frameworks, and cloud based data services.
The Spring Data LDAP project aims to provide familiar and consistent repository abstractions for Spring LDAP.
Features
-
Spring configuration support using Java-based
@Configurationclasses or an XML namespace. -
Annotation based mapping metadata.
-
Automatic implementation of Repository interfaces including support for custom query methods.
-
QueryDSL integration to support type-safe queries.

Getting Started
Here is a quick teaser of an application using Spring Data Repositories in Java:
public interface PersonRepository extends CrudRepository<Person, Long> {
List<Person> findByLastname(String lastname);
List<Person> findByFirstnameLike(String firstname);
}
@Service
public class MyService {
private final PersonRepository repository;
public MyService(PersonRepository repository) {
this.repository = repository;
}
public void doWork() {
repository.deleteAll();
Person person = new Person();
person.setFirstname("Rob");
person.setLastname("Winch");
repository.save(person);
List<Person> lastNameResults = repository.findByLastname("Winch");
List<Person> firstNameResults = repository.findByFirstnameLike("R*");
}
}

Having trouble with Spring Data? We’d love to help!
-
Check the reference documentation, and Javadocs.
-
Learn the Spring basics – Spring Data builds on Spring Framework, check the spring.io web-site for a wealth of reference documentation. If you are just starting out with Spring, try one of the guides.
-
If you are upgrading, check out the changelog for “new and noteworthy” features.
-

Reporting Issues
Spring Data uses GitHub as issue tracking system to record bugs and feature requests. If you want to raise an issue, please follow the recommendations below:
-
Before you log a bug, please search the issue tracker to see if someone has already reported the problem.
-
If the issue doesn’t already exist, create a new issue.
-
Please provide as much information as possible with the issue report, we like to know the version of Spring Data that you are using and JVM version.
-
If you need to paste code, or include a stack trace use Markdown ``` escapes before and after your text.
-
If possible try to create a test-case or project that replicates the issue. Attach a link to your code or a compressed file containing your code.
Building from Source
You don’t need to build from source to use Spring Data (binaries in repo.spring.io), but if you want to try out the latest and greatest, Spring Data can be easily built with the maven wrapper. You also need JDK 1.8.
$ ./mvnw clean installIf you want to build with the regular mvn command, you will need Maven v3.5.0 or above.
Also see CONTRIBUTING.adoc if you wish to submit pull requests, and in particular please sign the Contributor’s Agreement before your first non-trivial change.
Building reference documentation
Building the documentation builds also the project without running tests.
$ ./mvnw clean install -PdistributeThe generated documentation is available from target/site/reference/html/index.html.
Examples

Spring Data Examples contains example projects that explain specific features in more detail.
