Spring 3 and Mongo Configuration help

[fulcrumlogic]

Hello there,

I'm new to Spring and Mongo so please bare with me for silly questions.

I read through a few blogs, Spring doc and went over a few examples. I've successfully installed MongoDB, which I tested through Java program. I tried to setup and configure basic helloworld example using Spring-MongoDB, which did not work.

This is what my sys configuration is:
1. I'm using Eclipse 3.6 (Helios)
2. Spring M3
3. MongoDB 1.6.5

What I'm not using is:
1. Maven
2. Spring Editor

My questions are:
1. Can I work with only Eclipse, Spring JARs and MongoDB (without Maven)?
2. Getting errors like pasted below. Thanks for your help.

Looks like you're missing a dependency (org.springframework.data.document.UncategorizedDo cumentStoreException). Try adding the appropriate Spring Data Commons jar to your classpath. Just curious, why not use Maven to manage your dependencies? This would remove trivial problems like these from being your concern.

[fulcrumlogic]

Thanks for your reply. I seem to have following commons Jars. Are there any other that I'm missing? Where can I get a list of ALL required Jars for Spring-Mongo configuration.

spring-data-commons-core-1.0.0.RELEASE.jar
spring-data-commons-core-1.1.0.jar

Appreciate your help. Thank you.

It's hard for me to tell without knowing which version of Spring Data MongoDB you are using. You would need to look at the .pom file for that project to see what dependencies and which versions of those dependencies it requires. If you don't use Maven, then you may find this browsable repository helpful. This would allow you to see, for instance, Spring Data MongoDB 1.0.0.M3 pom file to check it's dependencies. Looks like for Spring Data Commons it uses 1.1.0.M1.

Hi, thanks for the info and suggestions. I could identify most dependencies expect this one below. I'm not able to find the JAR associated with org/springframework/data/mapping/model/PersistentProperty. I dont seem to have this class in the following jars too:


spring-data-mongodb-1.0.0.M3.jar
spring-data-commons-core-1.0.0.M1.jar

The error is:

OK, its under the spring-data-commons-core-1.1.0.M1.jar. Resolved all dependencies. Thank you so much! Appreciate it.
