UnsupportedOperationException: operation is not supported on a client cache

[aditya.chopra]

I am getting below exception while doing client-server configuration using Spring Gemfire. Please see below my client and server configuration files. I am using 1.2.1 version of Spring data gemfire with 7.0 version of vFabric Gemfire.

That's a strange error. Are you trying to create the client and server in the same process? They must run in separate JVMs
