public class StockInfo {

    @Id 
          


        

Answer 1

To simplify your Pivotal GemFire configuration in your Spring Boot application, you might consider using (starting with the) Spring Boot for Pivotal GemFire (SBDG) project.

SBDG builds on Spring Data for Pivotal GemFire (SDG) along with other Spring projects, obviously Spring Boot, but also Spring Session for Pivotal GemFire (SSDG; here), as well. It applies all the concepts of Spring Boot (e.g. opinionated, "convention over configuration" using auto-configuration, etc) when developing Pivotal GemFire applications with Spring in general, and Spring Boot in particular.

For instance, in your application, SBDG would automatically auto-configure SD[G] Repositories, making the explicit declaration of @EnableGemfireRepositories unnecessary.

There are many other benefits to using SBDG, too.

Food for thought.

Answer 2

You need to add @SpringBootApplication to your main class.

@EnableGemfireRepositories
@SpringBootApplication
public class Application implements CommandLineRunner {

and in your pom add spring-boot-starter-web dependency instead of spring-web

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>
