mongodb org.springframework.data.authentication.UserCredentials No default constructor found

Question

I just started to use mongodb as repository of my new project, Every thing was ok until we decided to set user authentication in mongo server.

I change my spring.config.xml as below to connect to mongo with authentication

<bean id="mongoTemplate" class="org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate">
    <constructor-arg name="mongo" ref="mongo"/>
    <constructor-arg name="databaseName" value="admin"/>
    <constructor-arg name="userCredentials" ref="mongoCredentials"/>
</bean>

<bean id="mongoCredentials" class="org.springframework.data.authentication.UserCredentials">
    <property name="username" value="user" />
    <property name="password" value="password" />
</bean>

<bean class="com.mongodb.MongoURI" id="mongoURI">
    <constructor-arg value="mongodb://localhost:27017"  />
</bean>

<bean class="com.mongodb.Mongo" id="mongo">
    <constructor-arg ref="mongoURI" />
</bean>

and this is stack trace:

I appreciate your help.

Answer 1

UserCredentials class does not have a default construct, it has one with following arguments: UserCredentials(String username, String password). You have to modify your bean definition to use this constructor:

<bean id="mongoCredentials" class="org.springframework.data.authentication.UserCredentials">
    <constructor-arg value="user"  />
    <constructor-arg value="password"  />
</bean>

Answer 2

try this:

<bean id="mongoCredentials" class="org.springframework.data.authentication.UserCredentials">
<constructor-arg value="user"></constructor-arg>
<constructor-arg value="password"></constructor-arg>

The way you have configured it, Spring attempts to call the default constructor and then call the setters. But of course there is no default constructor, so Spring reports the exception
