SpringData MongoDB cannot determine IsNewStrategy during Auditing

I am trying to enable Auditing using Annotations. My domain class has @Id field that is populated while constructing the object. I have added a java.util.Date field for lastModified and annotated it with @LastModifiedDate.

@Document
public class Book {
    @Id
    private String name;
    private String isbn;
    @LastModifiedDate
    private Date lastModified;

    public Book(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

I have enabled auditing in the Spring Configuration XML using <mongo:auditing/>.

When I try to save an instance of my object, I get the following error:

Book book1 = new Book("ABCD");
mongoOps.save(book1);

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported entity com.pankaj.Book! Could not determine IsNewStrategy.

I do not want to use the Auditable interface nor extend my domain classes from AbstractAuditable. I only want to use the Annotations. Since I am not interested in the @CreatedBy and the @LastModifiedBy, I am not implementing the AuditAware interface as well.

I just want the @LastModifiedDate to work for my domain classes. What am I missing?

I am using version 1.7.0 of SpringData MongoDB.

I had the same issue when using annotations only configuration.

When you put @EnableMongoAuditing on a configuration class, Spring will create a MappingContext bean.

Then you have to make sure the same mappingContext is being used in the MongoTemplate.

@Configuration
@EnableMongoAuditing
@EnableMongoRepositories(value = "my.repositories.package", mongoTemplateRef = "myMongoTemplate")
class MongoConfig {

    @Autowired
    //Autowiring the MongoMappingContext will supply the same MongoMappingContext as the one used in auditing
    MongoMappingContext mongoMappingContext;

    @Bean
    MongoTemplate myMongoTemplate() {

        String databaseName = "mydbname";
        MongoDbFactory factory = new SimpleMongoDbFactory(mongoClient, databaseName);
        MongoConverter converter = new MappingMongoConverter(factory, mongoMappingContext);
        MongoTemplate mongoTemplate =  new MongoTemplate(factory, converter);
        return mongoTemplate;
    }
}

@Document(collection="collectionName")

You don't mention how you are configuring your MongoDB connection but if you are using AbstractMongoConfiguration, it will use the package of the actual configuration class to look for @Document annotated classes at startup.

If your entities are in a different package, you will have to manually hand that package by overriding AbstractMongoConfiguration.getMappingBasePackage(). Placing this in you Mongo Configuration class should do the trick (again, this is considering you are extending AbstractMongoConfiguration for your Mongo configuration):

@Override
protected String getMappingBasePackage() {
    return "package.with.my.domain.classes";
}

I had the same issue and fixed it by extending the Document class with AbstractPersistable. In you case it can be

public class Book extends AbstractAuditable

My project running in version 1.6.2 runs normally, except that @ LastModifiedDate does not update. After I updated to version 1.7.1. I had the same problem as you.

I tried to implement the class: org. Springframework. Data. Domain. The Auditable this interface, seemingly can preserve the normal, but the createdBy and createdDate two fields could not be saved to the database.
