java.lang.NoSuchMethodError Error while connecting mongoDb through Spring

Question

I am trying to connect mongoDb through Spring's mongoTemplate. However, while performing CRUD operations on database, I am getting java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.mapping.MongoPersistentEntity.hasVersionProperty()Z error

Here's my pom.xml

My mongoconfiguration file

@Configuration
public class SpringMongoConfig1 {

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

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

main class of project

public class StoreMainApp {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.out.println("into main method");

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


        Store store1 = new Store("Sample store 1", "Street 1", "City 1", (float) 35.4);
        System.out.println("store1 city : "+store1.storeCity);


        mongoOperation.insert(store1);
    }
}

If I use mongoOperation.createCollection("stores");, it works fine and a collection with name stores is getting created in database, however any mongoOperation.save() or mongoOperation.insert() method is not running.

Following stacktrace :

  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.mapping.MongoPersistentEntity.hasVersionProperty()Z

Answer 1

issuing a mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose will reveal if you have any jar conflicts. I have performed the command myself and I can see that you have mongo-java-driver to version 2.11.0 while in the org.springframework.data:spring-data-mongodb:jar:1.2.0.RELEASE references a org.mongodb:mongo-java-driver:jar:2.10.1

So make sure you have the same versions of the jars in conflict.

UPDATE

this pom.xml works for me:

    <!-- Spring framework -->
    <dependency>

Make sure you clean and build your project.
