Connecting to MongoDB 2.6.12 using Java Driver version 0.11

[sanj...@nrifintech.com]

Dear Sir,

Can we connect to MongoDB Server 2.6.12  using Java Driver version 0.11?  We have a constraint of
upgrading Java Driver version which would require huge change in our client code. We use JDK 8 for
compilation of our project. We would like to know whether it is possible to connect to MongoDB Server 2.6.12 or
MongoDB Server 3.0 using Java Driver version 0.11 if we only use the limited set of features (not the functionalities that
were introduced in Server version 2.6.12 or 3.0).

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

The MongoDB Java driver version 0.11 was released in Oct, 2009 .. so if that's definitely the version you are using, I'd be surprised if there weren't significant compatibility problems and known issues that have since been resolved.

If you are actually using the 2.11 version of the Java driver, this has only been tested through MongoDB 2.4. I wouldn't recommend using unsupported combinations of MongoDB driver and server as you may run into novel bugs (we don't test or support these combinations). If you want to avoid risk, I would continue using a compatible server version and schedule a proper upgrade of driver & server into your development/testing schedule.

Please see the documentation for a full guide to Java Driver Compatibility including MongoDB server and JDK versions.

Regards,

Stephen
