How could I customize the MappingMongoConverter within my Spring-Boot-Application (1.3.2.RELEASE) without changing any of the mongo-stuff which is autoconfigured by spring-data?
My current solution is:
@Configuration
public class MongoConfig {
@Autowired
private MongoDbFactory mongoFactory;
@Autowired
private MongoMappingContext mongoMappingContext;
@Bean
public MappingMongoConverter mongoConverter() throws Exception {
DbRefResolver dbRefResolver = new DefaultDbRefResolver(mongoFactory);
MappingMongoConverter mongoConverter = new MappingMongoConverter(dbRefResolver, mongoMappingContext);
//this is my customization
mongoConverter.setMapKeyDotReplacement("_");
mongoConverter.afterPropertiesSet();
return mongoConverter;
}
}
Is this the right way or do I break some stuff with this?
Or is there even a more simple way to set the mapKeyDotReplacement?
That's the right way to do it. The auto-configured MappingMongoConverter is annotated with @ConditionalOnMissingBean(MongoConverter.class), so adding your own MappingMongoConverter bean will cause the auto-configuration to back off in favour of your custom converter.
One minor correction: there's no need for you to call mongoConverter.afterPropertiesSet(). The container will call that for you.
