Spring Content
Cloud-Native Content Services for Spring.
Spring Content provides modules for managing content in JPA, MongoDB's GridFS, S3 or Filesystem storage. When combined with Spring Data/REST it allows content to be associated with Spring Data Entities. The Solr module provides an integration with Apache Solr for fulltext indexing and search capabilities. The Renditions module provides a pluggable renditions framework and several out-of-the-box renderers that can render stored content in several different formats.
