spring-data-mongodb

I am using Spring data mongo to insert a record to Mongo, here is my code mongoTemplate.save(person,"personCollection"); Here is my person object public class Person implements Serializable { int age; String address; String name; //Getters and setters including hashcode and equals } my address is null here , after inserting the record in the collection, the data is populated with only age and name i know that mongodb treats null value and noKey as the same thing, but my requirement is to even populate the address:null to have the schema consistent how do i do this with Spring Data mongo

I tried to insert the following DBObject into MongoDB using Spring Data: BasicDBObject document = new BasicDBObject(); document.put("country", "us"); document.put("city", "NY"); mongoTemplate.insert(document); where mongoTemplate is my Spring template (org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate). When executing, I get: Caused by: org.springframework.dao.InvalidDataAccessApiUsageException: No Persitent Entity information found for the class com.mongodb.BasicDBObject at org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate.determineCollectionName(MongoTemplate.java:1747) at org

I have a project that utilizes Spring Data (MongoDB in this instance) to interact with multiple databases with the same schema. What this means is that each database utilizes the same entity and repository classes. So, for example: public class Thing { private String id; private String name; private String type; // etc... } public interface ThingRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository<Thing, String> { List<Thing> findByName(String name); } @Configuration @EnableMongoRepositories(basePackageClasses = { ThingRepository.class }) public MongoConfig extends AbstractMongoConfiguration { //

I'm trying to implement a custom query according to the Reference 4.4 Custom Implementations: http://static.springsource.org/spring-data/data-mongodb/docs/current/reference/html/repositories.html What's the difference between Spring Data's MongoTemplate and MongoRepository? I'm doing this because I need special queries using mongoTemplate. The error I'm getting is a PropertyReferenceException. So it seems that spring-data is trying to auto-generate the query which I don't want. I want to use my own custom query. org.springframework.data.mapping.PropertyReferenceException: No property search

My document structure is like: { _id: "A", groups:[{ groupId: "someId", groupName: "someName", params: { type1: ["a", "b"], type2: ["c", d] } }], config: { person: {} dataDetails: { dataTypeDetails: {}, dataList: ["dt1", "dt2"] } } } My Spring Data MongoDB model types look like this: // Imports etc. @Document public class Entity { @Id private String _id; private List<Group> groups; private Config config; // setters and getters public class Group { private String groupId; private String groupName; private ParamData params; // setter and getters } public class ParamData { private List<String>

I'm trying to use Spring-data-rest with spring-data-mongodb to expose read-only resources. The problem I met, is that I want to have different views of my documents. Let's say I have some private information in a document, I don't want to expose them publicly. So I tried several ways. I read this post https://spring.io/blog/2014/12/02/latest-jackson-integration-improvements-in-spring describing how to use JsonView in order to select the fields we want to expose. I've tried like this : @RepositoryRestResource(collectionResourceRel = "recommandation", path = "recommandations") interface
