I am using Spring boot and am trying to access data in mongo db using Spring Data.
For that, in the application.properties which is in the same package as Application.java
spring.data.mongodb.host=localhost
spring.data.mongodb.database=test
spring.data.mongodb.port=27017
The list of dependencies in the pom.xml is as follows :
<dependencies>

Is there any configuration that I am missing ?

Answer 1

You haven't mentioned the spring-boot-starter version but problem is that it needs class RepositoryConfigurationDelegate in order to use spring-data features and which is present in spring-data-commons jar and its not there in your POM. Three possible solutions :-
a) Use spring-data-mongodb-1.8.1-RELEASE.jar as it internally includes the spring-data-commons-1.11.1-RELEASE.jar OR
b) Include spring-data-commons jar along with your spring-data-mongodb-1.2.3-RELEASE.jar OR
c) Just use spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb which will resolve all (data-mongodb, data-commons) needed dependencies.
