mongoDB之@Document(collection = "#{personRepository.getCollectionName()}")

using answer from Oliver Gierke above, working on a project where I need to create multiple collections for one entity, I wanted to use the spring repositories and needed to specify the entity to use before using the repository.

I managed to modify the repository collection name on demand using this system, it using SPeL. You can only work on 1 collection at a time though.

Domain object

@Document(collection = "#{personRepository.getCollectionName()}")
public class Person{}

Default Spring Repository:

public interface PersonRepository 
     extends MongoRepository<Person, String>, PersonRepositoryCustom{
}

Custom Repository Interface:

public interface PersonRepositoryCustom {
    String getCollectionName();

    void setCollectionName(String collectionName);
}

implementation:

public class PersonRepositoryImpl implements PersonRepositoryCustom {

    private static String collectionName = "Person";

    @Override
    public String getCollectionName() {
        return collectionName;
    }

    @Override
    public void setCollectionName(String collectionName) {
        this.collectionName = collectionName;
    }
}

To use it:

@Autowired
PersonRepository personRepository;

public void testRetrievePeopleFrom2SeparateCollectionsWithSpringRepo(){
        List<Person> people = new ArrayList<>();
        personRepository.setCollectionName("collectionA");
        people.addAll(personRepository.findAll());
        personDocumentRepository.setCollectionName("collectionB");
        people.addAll(personRepository.findAll());
        Assert.assertEquals(4, people.size());
}

Otherwise if you need to use configuration variables, you could maybe use something like this? source

@Value("#{systemProperties['pop3.port'] ?: 25}")

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In my @Configuration class:

@Value("${mongo.event.collection}")
private String
    mongoEventCollectionName;

@Bean
public String mongoEventCollectionName() {
    return
        mongoEventCollectionName;
}

On my Document:

@Document(collection = "#{mongoEventCollectionName}")
