Spring -Mongodb storing/retrieving enums as int not string

Question

My enums are stored as int in mongodb (from C# app). Now in Java, when I try to retrieve them, it throws an exception (it seems enum can be converted from string value only)

Answer 1

You will need to implement your custom converters and register it with spring.
