Persisting Objects from a List to seperate MongoDB Collection

[greekjava]

Hello,

I have a class with a List:

public class A {
    private List<Message> messages = Lists.newArrayList();
}

The class A can be saved. For this I use a simple interface that extends the PagingAndSortingRepository and is
Spring generated.

Now, the messages List is saved as an Array in MongoDB. But I would like that each Message instance is just
saved in a MongoDB Collection called "message". The Message Class is properly annotated.

Is this possible?

Too lazy to read the reference docs? http://static.springsource.org/sprin...age-references

Hello Oliver,

thank you. No actually I read all of it, but I had only the cascade save in my mind...
In the moment I do not need the DBRefs to be saved in Document A. Is there a way to achieve
it without the need to manage this with a separate "Messages Repository"?

Greetings
