Cayenne And SpringBoot

I want to look into using Cayenne with SpringBoot.  I was able to get a
basic cayenne stack up and running by implementing a ContextListener  and
on the create event starting up a Cayenne Runtime.  I was using an in
memory database and I had problems getting the ;create=true working.  My
hack was to set the strategy on the DataNode after the runtime after it
was  spun up.

Has anyone done this before?  Are there any  suggestions  on what I should
be certain to do or avoid? Should I just spin up the standard Cayenne web
filter?  Are there other choices?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
