How to wire in my remote mongo db to the example mongo project?

[Steve Schreiner]

How can I wire in my remote mongo db into the example mongo project (https://github.com/ralscha/eds-starter-mongodb)?  In a previous post you mentioned about putting it with the application.yml but I don't see it in the project?

spring:

  data:

    mongodb:

      uri: mongodb://

Thanks!

Hi.

Sorry I changed it to the properties format, because all the examples in the spring boot reference documentation are in this format. http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.1.4.RELEASE/reference/pdf/spring-boot-reference.pdf

You find the files here:

/eds-starter-mongodb/src/main/resources/application.properties

/eds-starter-mongodb/src/main/resources/application-development.properties

The first one is the default profile and is active when no profile is specified. 

The second file is activated with this system environment flag: -Dspring.profiles.active=development

Spring Boot supports these MongoDB properties:

spring.data.mongodb.host= # the db host

spring.data.mongodb.port=27017 # the connection port (defaults to 27107)

spring.data.mongodb.uri=mongodb://localhost/test # connection URL

spring.data.mongo.repositories.enabled=true # if spring data repository support is enabled

If you need more control you can specify a @Bean like the following example. This example changes the WriteConcern to UNACKNOWLEDGED. The default is ACKNOWLEDGED which waits for a response from the server.

        @Bean

public MongoClient mongo() throws Exception {

MongoClient mongoClient = new MongoClient("localhost");

mongoClient.setWriteConcern(WriteConcern.UNACKNOWLEDGED);

return mongoClient;

}
