Connect Spring roo project to Mongo database - spring

Question

I am new too roo and trying to create a simple app to push to Heroku. I have the app up and working on my localhost with a MongoDB running on the localhost as well. I added a MongoDB to the app in Heroku but it will not open on Heroku (the app not the DB). I don't know what the issue is but do I need to connect my app to the Heroku DB somehow? As in changing the database.properties file? I tried to test it locally using the Heroku DB by taking this URL (Which I can use to log into the DB just fine with mongoctl):
mongodb://heroku_app10830648:************************#ds047387.mongolab.com:4738/heroku_app10830648
and putting the info into the database.properties file:
#Updated at Wed Jan 09 19:16:49 MST 2013
#Wed Jan 09 19:16:49 MST 2013
mongo.database=heroku_app10830648
mongo.host=ds047387.mongolab.com
mongo.password=***********************
mongo.port=47387
mongo.username=heroku_app10830648
but when I build it with mvn package I get this error:
T E S T S

How do I use a different DB besides local in a mvn project.

Answer 1

[This post seems to be dormant, but I just ran into the same problem, and this is the top match in Google.]
I'm using a Spring/Roo/Mongo application which worked fine in "dev" mode, but when deployed to a cloud provider (OpenShift, CloudBees, Heroku, etc) and connecting to MongoHQ, the DB connections fail with the message:
command failed [command failed [count] { "ok" : 0.0 , "errmsg" :
"unauthorized"}
Turns out the problem is in the auto-generated applicationContext-mongo.xml file. You need to add the username and password attributes:
<mongo:db-factory dbname="${mongo.name}" host="${mongo.host}" id="mongoDbFactory" port="${mongo.port}" username="${mongo.username}" password="${mongo.password}"/>
Here's a (likely outdated) link to the official docs (if it helps): http://static.springsource.org/spring-data/data-mongo/docs/1.0.0.M5/reference/html/#d0e1210
One other tip: use spring.profiles.active to make your application select the correct credentials/configuration based on the dev-mode, or running within a specific cloud provider. It would be really nice if each PaaS would define a Java System Property like "current.paas=heroku" to make auto-configuration easier.
