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

Since org.springframework.data:spring-data-commons:1.13.3.RELEASE, here's how to programmatically create a MongoTemplate with custom converters

public MongoTemplate mongoTemplate(String mongoUri) throws Exception {
    MongoDbFactory factory = new SimpleMongoDbFactory(new MongoClientURI(mongoUri));
    CustomConversions conversions = new CustomConversions(
            Arrays.asList(new FooWriteConverter(), new FooReadConverter()));
    MongoMappingContext mappingContext = new MongoMappingContext();
    DbRefResolver dbRefResolver = new DefaultDbRefResolver(factory);
    MappingMongoConverter mongoConverter = new MappingMongoConverter(dbRefResolver, mappingContext);
    mongoConverter.setCustomConversions(conversions);
    mongoConverter.afterPropertiesSet();
    return new MongoTemplate(factory, mongoConverter);
}

The converters (implementation omitted)

class FooWriteConverter implements Converter { ... }
class FooReadConverter implements Converter { ... }
