SpringData:mongoDb Multiple DB Connections with Repository Pattern

[psuthe-01]

I have been using the Repository pattern without any issues - when I fire up the server it scans the mongo:repository

...
<mongo:repositories base-package="com.mycompany.registry"/>
...

element in my applicationContext and auto creates a collection for each interface extending Repository.

public interface AuditLogRepository extends MongoRepository<AuditLogEvent, ObjectId> 
...
{

The way I am getting my DB connection is by extending MongoTemplate and MongoDbFactory so I can get db startup properties from a properties file:

@Component(RegistryMongoTemplate.NAME)
public class RegistryMongoTemplate extends MongoTemplate implements MongoOperations {

    public static final String NAME = "mongoTemplate";

    @Autowired
    public RegistryMongoTemplate(@Qualifier(RegistryDatabaseFactory.NAME) MongoDbFactory factory) {
        super(factory);
    }
}

@Component(RegistryDatabaseFactory.NAME)
public class RegistryDatabaseFactory implements MongoDbFactory {

    public static final String NAME = "mongoDbFactory";
   
    private DB db = null;

    @Autowired
    public RegistryDatabaseFactory(
            @Qualifier(RegistryDefaultsBootstrapConfig.NAME) RegistryDefaultsBootstrapConfig bootConfig
            throws RegistryException {
   
            db = ... // use the bootstrap props to create db instance.

    }
    
    @Override
    public DB getDb() throws DataAccessException {
        return db;
    }

    ...
}

This all works fine. However, now I am trying to add a second connection/MongoTemplate to a different DB, but when I do, all the Repository collections are created in both DBs. I created a separate mongoTemplate, MongoDbFactory and matched them to their own mongo:repository element via mongo-template-ref attribute,

 <mongo:repositories base-package="com.mycompany.other.stuff" mongo-template-ref="mongoTemplateOther"/>

but I am not having any luck - all repositories are created on both DBs.

Did you ever have any luck with this? Did you get it to work? I am trying to do something similar and would love to know.

Thanks.
