Set MongoDb converter programmatically

Question

I\'m trying to use a custom converter with spring-data-mongodb. I want to create it programmatically, but I get the following error:

org.springframework.core         


        

Answer 1

Just a heads up. I was struggling with that problem on spring-data-mongodb 1.5.1.RELEASEusing Java Configuration. As some classes have changed, I'm posting my solution.

Add the following definition in your configuration class annotated with @Configuration:

@Bean
public Mongo mongo() throws Exception {
    MongoPropertiesResolver resolver = mongoResolver();
    return new MongoClient(resolver.getUrl());
}

@Bean
public MongoDbFactory mongoDbFactory() throws Exception {
    return new SimpleMongoDbFactory(mongo(), "database");
}

@Bean
public MongoTemplate mongoTemplate() throws Exception {
    return new MongoTemplate(mongoDbFactory(), mongoConverter());
}

@Bean
public CustomConversions customConversions() {
    List> converters = new ArrayList>();
    converters.add(new TimeZoneReadConverter());
    converters.add(new TimeZoneReadConverter());
    return new CustomConversions(converters);
}

@Bean
public MappingMongoConverter mongoConverter() throws Exception {
    MongoMappingContext mappingContext = new MongoMappingContext();
    DbRefResolver dbRefResolver = new DefaultDbRefResolver(mongoDbFactory());
    MappingMongoConverter mongoConverter = new MappingMongoConverter(dbRefResolver, mappingContext);
    mongoConverter.setCustomConversions(customConversions());
    return mongoConverter;
}
