How to configure Spring Repository to use mongoTemplate defined in xml bean? - spring

Question

The code executes fine, but creates collections in default mongo database and location i.e in test database # localhost:27017. In the mongoTemplate bean wired through the below xml, I'm using mydb as database with mongod instance running at localhost:27018. However, the data still gets persisted to default instance and database.
MongoDB XML Bean defined in src/main/resources/mongo-context.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:mongo="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo"

<mongo:mongo id="mongo" host="localhost" port="27018"/>

</bean>
<mongo:repositories base-package="core.repository" mongo-template-ref="mongoTemplate"/>
</beans>
Playlist repository:
package core.repository;
import core.dao.Playlist;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate;
import org.springframework.data.repository.Repository;
/**
* This repository provides CRUD operations for {#link core.dao.Playlist} objects.
*/
public interface PlaylistRepository extends Repository<Playlist, String> {
/**
* Finds the information of a single Playlist entry.
* #param id The id of the requested Playlist entry.
* #return The information of the found Playlist entry. If no Playlist entry
* is found, this method returns an empty {#link java.util.Optional} object.
*/
Optional<Playlist> findOne(String id);
/**
* Saves a new Playlist entry to the database.
* #param saved The information of the saved Playlist entry.
* #return The information of the saved Playlist entry.
*/
Playlist save(Playlist saved);
}
Playlist service that uses repository:
package core.service;
import core.dao.*;
import core.error.NotFoundException;
import core.repository.PlaylistRepository;
import core.simulator.PlaylistServiceSimulator;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
/**
* Executes the business logic promised by the {#link core.service.PlaylistService} interface.
*/
#Service
final class PlaylistServiceExecutor implements PlaylistService {
private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(PlaylistServiceExecutor.class);
private final PlaylistRepository repository;
private final PlaylistServiceSimulator simulator;
#Autowired
PlaylistServiceExecutor(PlaylistRepository repository, PlaylistServiceSimulator simulator) {
this.repository = repository;
this.simulator = simulator;
}
#Override
public PlaylistDTO create(PlaylistDTO playlist) {
LOGGER.debug("Creating a new Playlist entry with information: {}", playlist);
Playlist persisted = Playlist.build()
persisted = repository.save(persisted);
LOGGER.debug("Created a new Playlist entry with information: {}", persisted);
return persisted.toDTO();
}
#Override
public PlaylistDTO findById(String id) {
LOGGER.debug("Finding Playlist entry with id: {}", id);
Playlist found = findPlaylistById(id);
LOGGER.debug("Found Playlist entry: {}", found);
return found.toDTO();
}
private Playlist findPlaylistById(String id) {
Optional<Playlist> result = repository.findOne(id);
return result.orElseThrow(() -> new NotFoundException(id));
}
}

Answer 1

I'm assuming you're using Spring boot for it's auto configuration features and opinionated defaults. If so, you should let Spring configure your Mongo repository.
Remove your mongo configuration in src/main/resources/mongo-context.xml
Replace the mongo dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-data-mongodb</artifactId>
</dependency>
with the following Spring boot dependency to pom.xml
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Make sure your repositories extend MongoRepository
Have at least the following properties in your application.properties. See Spring Boot appendix for properties reference
spring.data.mongodb.uri=mongodb://localhost:27018/mydb
spring.data.mongo.repositories.enabled=true
Here are some additional guides:
https://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-mongodb/
http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-nosql.html

Answer 2

You can use applicationContext.xml file for this. It looks like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
