Answer 1

I use Java EE (JSF + EJB). The Mongo client is in a @startup @singleton ejb, and when @PostConstruct void init() calls new MongoClient(), I got the same problem.

In fact I was able to do things by running the EJB as a standalone program (adding a main method that calls init()).

I tried to clean and restart, and problem gone. Technically this is not an answer and Nabeel might have fixed it, but I hope this can help other people.

Answer 2

Looks to me like you might have a mismatch between the MongoDB driver version you're developing against and the one on the webserver. MongoClient only came in version 2.11, so my suspicion is that the version of the driver you have in Tomcat is older.
