shortcut attribute in client-region element causes exception

[rasadoll]

Hi,
I am using spring-gemfire 1.1.0. I am experiencing a NullPointerException during initialization. My investigation shows it is caused by using "shortcut" in my client-region definition.

Here is my bean definitions:

<gfe:client-cache properties-ref="gf-props" pool-name="locator-pool" />
<util:properties id="gf-props" location="classpath:config/gemfire.properties"/>
	
<gfe:client-region id="myregion" shortcut="PROXY"/>
	
<gfe:pool id="locator-pool" subscription-enabled="true">
	<gfe:locator host="myhost" port="myport"/>
</gfe:pool>

Here is the exception at startup:

...

Yeah. This is a bug. Download Spring Gemfire 1.1.1 and it's fixed now.
