Question

How do I update Object with Spring Data and MongoDB?

do I just do a template.save()?

  public Person update( String id, String Name ) 
    {
        logger.debug("Retrieving an existing person");
        // Find an entry where pid matches the id

        Query query = new Query(where("pid").is(id));
        // Execute the query and find one matching entry
        Person person = mongoTemplate.findOne("mycollection", query, Person.class);

        person.setName(name);
        /**
        * How do I update the database
        */

        return person;
    }

If you read the javadoc for MongoOperations/MongoTemplate you will see that

save()

performs an:

upsert() 

So yes you can just update your object and call save.
