CloudFoundry: MongoDB : Connection Refused vs NoClassDefFoundError

[skram]

Case closed. The issue has been resolved by using the latest Cloud Foundry dependency:

    <org.cloudfoundry-version>0.8.0</org.cloudfoundry-version>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.cloudfoundry</groupId>
        <artifactId>cloudfoundry-runtime</artifactId>
        <version>${org.cloudfoundry-version}</version>
    </dependency>

My problem is basic. I have an application that uses MongoDB. It works locally, but when deploying to Cloud Foundry, I get two errors (depending on how I configure my Mongo).

First, my Maven snippet:

    <spring.data.mongo.version>1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</spring.data.mongo.version>
    <org.cloudfoundry-version>0.7.1</org.cloudfoundry-version>

        <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-data-mongodb</artifactId>
        <version>${spring.data.mongo.version}</version>
    </dependency>

        <dependency>
        <groupId>org.cloudfoundry</groupId>
        <artifactId>cloudfoundry-runtime</artifactId>
        <version>${org.cloudfoundry-version}</version>
    </dependency>

Here's my initial MongoDB config that works on my localhost machine:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
    xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p" 
        xmlns:mongo="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo"
    xmlns:cloud="http://schema.cloudfoundry.org/spring"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd

            http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo/spring-mongo-1.0.xsd
            http://schema.cloudfoundry.org/spring 
            http://schema.cloudfoundry.org/spring/cloudfoundry-spring-0.7.xsd">
    
      <mongo:repositories base-package="org.sample.repositories" />
  
    <mongo:mongo host="localhost" port="27017"/>
    
    <bean id="mongoTemplate" class="org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate">
              <constructor-arg ref="mongo"/>
            <constructor-arg name="databaseName" value="mydb"/>
      </bean>
</beans>

When I deploy this directly to CloudFoundry, I get the following exception:

I suspect maybe because I didn't used the cloud namespace.

[skram]

So I modified and redeployed my app.

Here's my new MongoDB configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
	xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p" 
        xmlns:mongo="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo"
	xmlns:cloud="http://schema.cloudfoundry.org/spring"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
	   	http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd
   		http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo
    		http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo/spring-mongo-1.0.xsd
    		http://schema.cloudfoundry.org/spring 
    		http://schema.cloudfoundry.org/spring/cloudfoundry-spring-0.7.xsd">
	
  	<mongo:repositories base-package="org.sample.repositories" />

			<constructor-arg ref="mongoDbFactory"/>
  	</bean>
	
	<cloud:mongo-db-factory id="mongoDbFactory"/>
</beans>

However, I get the following exception as soon as I deploy it to CloudFoundry:

Stopping Tomcat because the context stopped.

I suspect it's because I'm using the latest Spring Data MongoDB snapshot (along with the latest spring-data-commons-core dependency). See Forum: http://forum.springsource.org/showth...tegration-Hell and JIRA: https://jira.springsource.org/browse/DATAJPA-90 for a brief background of these updates.

So now I'm stucked in two worlds. It's a connection configuration issue and a class definition exception.

[jrosoff]

So in your first post, it looks like problem is that the connection information is incorrect. In Cloud Foundry, your database host, port, username, password and database name are passed in as an environment variable. In your mongo config, you have it hardcoded to look for a mongodb on localhost:27017. That is why you were first getting the failure in initMongo.

I believe that the cloud:mongo-db-factory can automatically parse the environment variable for you (i'm more of a mongodb guy, than a spring source guy, so forgive my ignorance here). The examples from springsource differ from your code. Check out https://github.com/SpringSource/clou...ot-context.xml for their sample config.

Could that be it?

[Oliver Gierke]

It seems CloudFoundry hasn't updated to Spring Data MongoDB 1.0.0.M4 yet. I've pinged the CF team and will report back as soon as the issue is fixed.

[skram]

Thanks for the replies.

I'm not really sure at first where to post this issue: here (Spring forums) or there (CloudFoundry forums). I'm glad action is being done.

[Oliver Gierke]

The update to SD MongoDB 1.0 M4 has been done with CF runtime version 0.8.0. So you shouldn't see the namespace related error anymore.

[skram]

Thanks Oliver.

Everything is working now. Sorry if it took a while to reply back. I was busy writing and testing my app for a new guide I'm writing at: Spring MVC: Integrating MySQL, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, and AJAX

You can check the whole guide at http://krams915.blogspot.com/2011/09...godb_8914.html which is actually intended for people who want to learn more about these technologies

Also, I've deployed the app to Cloud Foundry which you can find at http://spring-mysql-mongo-rabbit.cloudfoundry.com/ You might need to refresh the app due to a bug with JSTL c:url (See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...-jstl-curl-tag)

There's also a dedicated GitHub repo for this project at https://github.com/krams915/spring-m...it-integration
