Autowiring MongoClient and MongoClientSettings without explicitly specifying a Connection String - spring

Question

I am upgrading the MongoDB driver which requires moving away from the older MongoClientOptions to the newer MongoClientSettings.
In the older implementation, the following configuration was used within a #Configuration class with the ConnectionString inferred from the spring.data.mongodb.uri and an #Autowired MongoTemplate:
#Bean
public MongoClientOptions mongoOptions() {
Builder clientOptionsBuilder = MongoClientOptions.builder()
//Timeout Configurations
if(sslIsEnabled) {
clientOptionsBuilder.sslEnabled(true)
//Other SSL options
}
return clientOptionsBuilder.build();
}
And in the Newer Implementation, a ConnectionString parameter is specifically expected, and the property file spring.data.mongodb.uri is not selected automatically. As a result, I have specified the connection string using the #Value Annotation. Not doing this results in the program to infer localhost:27017 as the connection source.
#Value("${spring.data.mongodb.uri}")
String connectionString;
#Bean
public MongoClient mongoClient() {
MongoClientSettings.Builder clientSettingsBuilder = MongoClientSettings.builder()
.applyToSocketSettings(builder -> {
// Timeout Configurations
}).applyConnectionString(new ConnectionString(connectionString));
if (sSLEnabled) {
clientSettingsBuilder.applyToSslSettings(builder -> {
builder.enabled(sslIsEnabled);
//Other SSL Settings
});
}
return MongoClients.create(clientSettingsBuilder.build());
}
While documentation and other StackOverflow posts mention MongoClientSettings overrides the property file entries, is there a way to retrieve/infer the MongoClientSettings from the property files and then append other custom configurations to it?
I am using Spring Boot 2.6 and spring starter dependency for MongoDB
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb</artifactId>
</dependency>

I found that a similar question asked on GitHub earlier.
Modify MongoClientSettings while using auto configuration with mongodb #20195
Replacing the #Bean configuration which had MongoClientOptions with MongoClientSettingsBuilderCustomizer helped solve the problem.
#Bean
public MongoClientSettingsBuilderCustomizer mongoDBDefaultSettings()
throws KeyManagementException, NoSuchAlgorithmException {
return builder -> {
builder.applyToSocketSettings(bldr -> {
//Apply any custom socket settings
});
builder.applyToSslSettings(blockBuilder -> {
// Apply SSL settings
});
// Apply other settings to the builder.
};
}
