I will show you a configuration of spring data mongodb by extending abstractMongoConfiguration class. It is very easy and rapid process to configure spring data mongodb in application. Let's start with following a few steps

Add dependency for spring data mongodb

 
    
        org.springframework.data
        spring-data-mongodb
        1.7.0.RELEASE

you can find latest version at Spring Data Mongodb

Spring Data mongodb Configuration by using AbstractMongoConfiguration

So make your own class and extend it by abstractMongoConfiguration. It will provides method to return your database name and darabase host.

 @Configuration
public class Datasource extends AbstractMongoConfiguration{
	
	@Override
	public String getDatabaseName() {
		return "testsampinch";
	}
 
	@Override
	@Bean
	public Mongo mongo() throws Exception {
		return new MongoClient("127.0.0.1");
	}

}

it will give you a mongotemplate object. So you can use mongotemplate object for basic operation. It has a very good support for criteria

Make Your Domain class

 public class User {	
   String name;
}

Your Service

 @Service
public class UserService {
	
	@Autowired MongoTemplate mongoTemplate;
	
	public void saveUser(){
		User user = new User();
		user.setName(“prabjot”);
		mongoTemplate.save(user);
	}
}

Thanks!!!
