I can't exclude MongoAutoConfiguration in Springboot-Kotlin (MongoSocketOpenException)

Question

I'm getting a MongoSocketOpenException when trying to exclude MongoAutoConfiguration. I'm trying to connect to a remote MongoDB. Is the @EnableAutoConfiguration syntax correct considering I'm working in Kotlin?

Exception:

Answer 1

Its better this way

@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = [MongoAutoConfiguration::class])

Answer 2

There's no java-like array initialization in Kotlin. It should be

@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = arrayOf(MongoAutoConfiguration::class))
