Error creating bean with name 'mongoTemplate' while connecting mongodb through Spring

Question

I am trying to connect mongoDb with Spring's mongoTemplate. I also tried changing version of 'spring-data-mongodb' from 1.7.2.RELEASE to 1.8.2.RELEASE, but even that didn't work.

Below is my code as used in the project.

Here's my pom.xml

My SpringMongoConfig file

    package com.storeApp.config;

    import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
    import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext;
    import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
    import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
    import org.springframework.data.mongodb.MongoDbFactory;
    import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoFactoryBean;
    import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoOperations;
    import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate;
    import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.SimpleMongoDbFactory;

    import com.mongodb.MongoClient;

    @Configuration
    public class SpringMongoConfig1 {

        public @Bean
        MongoDbFactory mongoDbFactory() throws Exception{
            return new SimpleMongoDbFactory(new MongoClient(), "storeApp");
        }

        public @Bean
        MongoTemplate mongoTemplate() throws Exception{
            MongoTemplate mongoTemplate = new MongoTemplate(mongoDbFactory());
            return mongoTemplate;
        }

    //  ApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(SpringMongoConfig.class);
    //  MongoOperations mongoOperation = (MongoOperations)ctx.getBean("mongoTemplate");
    }

This is my main class

    package com.storeApp.core;

import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoOperations;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.query.Criteria;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.query.Query;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.query.Update;

import com.storeApp.config.SpringMongoConfig1;
import com.storeApp.config.SpringMongoConfig2;
import com.storeApp.model.Store;

public class StoreMainApp {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        ApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(SpringMongoConfig1.class);
        MongoOperations mongoOperation = (MongoOperations)ctx.getBean("mongoTemplate");

        Store store = new Store("Sample store 1", "Street 1", "City 1", (float) 35.4);
        System.out.println("into main method");
//      mongoOperation.save(store);
    }
}

Not getting where is the problem...

Answer 1

You only need below dependency and it will bring you all needed jars.

 <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb</artifactId>
  </dependency>

The error java.lang.NoSuchMethodError you are getting is for ClassTypeInformation class. Please check whether spring-data-commons-1.12.3.RELEASE.jar is present after you build your project. If not, then try cleaning up your build environment and update maven project.
