How to disable spring-data-mongodb autoconfiguration in spring-boot

Question

Has anyone tried disabling autoconfiguration for mongodb in spring-boot?

I am trying out spring-boot with spring-data-mongodb; Using java based configuration; Using spring-boot 1.2.1.RELEASE, I import spring-boot-starter-web and its' parent pom for dependency management. I also import spring-data-mongodb (tried spring-boot-starter-mongodb as well).

I need to connect to two different MongoDB servers. So I need to configure two sets of instances for mongo connection, MongoTemplate etc. I also want to disable auto-configuration. Since I am connecting to multiple servers, I don't need to have a single default MongoTemplate and GridFsTemplate bean autoconfigured.

My main class looks like this:

@Configuration
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={MongoAutoConfiguration.class, MongoDataAutoConfiguration.class})
@ComponentScan
//@SpringBootApplication  
public class MainRunner {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(MainRunner.class, args);
    }
}

My two mongo configuration classes look like this:

@Configuration
@EnableMongoRepositories(basePackageClasses = {Test1Repository.class},
        mongoTemplateRef = "template1",
        includeFilters = {@ComponentScan.Filter(type = FilterType.REGEX, pattern = ".*Test1Repository")}
)
public class Mongo1Config {

    @Bean
    public Mongo mongo1() throws UnknownHostException {
        return new Mongo("localhost", 27017);
    }
    
    @Primary
    @Bean
    public MongoDbFactory mongoDbFactory1() throws UnknownHostException {
        return new SimpleMongoDbFactory(mongo1(), "test1");
    }

    @Primary
    @Bean
    public MongoTemplate template1() throws UnknownHostException {
        return new MongoTemplate(mongoDbFactory1());
    }
}

and

@Configuration
@EnableMongoRepositories(basePackageClasses = {Test2Repository.class},
        mongoTemplateRef = "template2",
        includeFilters = {@ComponentScan.Filter(type = FilterType.REGEX, pattern = ".*Test2Repository")}
)
public class Mongo2Config {
    
    @Bean
    public Mongo mongo2() throws UnknownHostException {
        return new Mongo("localhost", 27017);
    }
    
    @Bean
    public MongoDbFactory mongoDbFactory2() throws UnknownHostException {
        return new SimpleMongoDbFactory(mongo2(), "test2");
    }
    
    @Bean
    public MongoTemplate template2() throws UnknownHostException {
        return new MongoTemplate(mongoDbFactory2());
    }
}

With this setup everything works. If I remove @Primary annotations from mongoDbFactory1 and template1 beans, application will fail with an exception that seems like autoconfiguration hasn't been disabled. Exception message is listed below:

Do you have any other classes annotated with SpringBootApplication or EnableAutoConfiguration? — Andy Wilkinson

Try to exclude MongoRepositoriesAutoConfiguration as well. — Artem Bilan

@AndyWilkinson embarrassingly I did have another class annotated with SpringBootApplication. I had more than one entry point - main for testing and Apache Daemon + jsvc runner for production and I simply copy/pasted all the annotations instead of putting them to one common place... Excluding MongoRepositoriesAutoConfiguration turned out not to be necessary... — im__

I just wanted to add that annotations used in the MainRunner class helped me trying to run a spring boot connected to two database using the code from falkenfighter.wordpress.com/2015/10/13/… — Francis Zabala
– Francis Zabala, Commented Apr 28, 2016 at 10:26
also exclude EmbeddedMongoAutoConfiguration.class and EmbeddedMongoProperties.class — Antoine Wils

This is how I do it:

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = {
  MongoAutoConfiguration.class, 
  MongoDataAutoConfiguration.class
})

or as suggested by Dan Oak:

spring.autoconfigure.exclude= \
  org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.mongo.MongoAutoConfiguration,\
  org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.data.mongo.MongoDataAutoConfiguration

As pointed out by Andy Wilkinson in comments, when using EnableAutoConfiguration with exclude list make sure there are no other classes annotated with EnableAutoConfiguration or SpringBootApplication.

Try to Run application in Debug mode. It happens when MongoDB dependant configaration is trying to instantiate but respective bean not present. In My case I have excluded MongoDataAutoConfiguration.class and MongoRepositoriesAutoConfiguration.class, to get the application run.

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={MongoAutoConfiguration.class, MongoRepositoriesAutoConfiguration.class,MongoDataAutoConfiguration.class})
public class SomeApplication {
//...
}

This works for me. I have to put this inside @SpringBootApplication

My use case was slightly different. I had a requirement for 2 different databases in the same project. I extended the auto configuration classes and added a profile annotation.

@Profile("mongo")
@Configuration
public class CustomMongoAutoConfiguration extends MongoAutoConfiguration {

    public CustomMongoAutoConfiguration(
        MongoProperties properties,
        ObjectProvider<MongoClientOptions> options,
        Environment environment) {
        super(properties,options,environment);
    }
}

And

@Profile("mongo")
@Configuration
@EnableConfigurationProperties(MongoProperties.class)
public class CustomMongoDataAutoConfiguration extends MongoDataAutoConfiguration {

    public CustomMongoDataAutoConfiguration(
        ApplicationContext applicationContext,
        MongoProperties properties) {
        super(applicationContext,properties);
    }

}

I have two dbs as well and I can confirm this works. No spring boot app excluded field changes necessary. This should be the real solution since the other seems like a hack to me. I had issues setting up Mongobee bean for two databases and this solved the reported issue of two Mongobee beans available.

Another note, I had to give Mongobee's beans a name otherwise, it picked up only one Mongobee.

I wanted to have just a single configuration, but to only enable it in a certain profile. Using the new Spring 3 embedded MongoDB, I still needed @SpringBootApplication(exclude = {EmbeddedMongoAutoConfiguration.class}) in my main application class or I would get an error about a bean being configured twice, as otherwise it tried to register the underlying EmbeddedMongoAutoConfiguration as well.

Spring Boot 2.3.x:

spring.autoconfigure.exclude[0]: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.data.mongo.MongoDataAutoConfiguration
spring.autoconfigure.exclude[1]: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.data.mongo.MongoRepositoriesAutoConfiguration

Reactive:

spring.autoconfigure.exclude[0]: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.data.mongo.MongoReactiveDataAutoConfiguration
spring.autoconfigure.exclude[1]: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.data.mongo.MongoReactiveRepositoriesAutoConfiguration

Same as https://stackoverflow.com/a/45929916/5213837 with https://stackoverflow.com/a/49980868/5213837, Spring boot 2.3/Kotlin

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = [MongoAutoConfiguration::class, MongoDataAutoConfiguration::class]

@Profile("mongo")
@Configuration
class CustomMongoAutoConfiguration: MongoAutoConfiguration() {
    override fun mongo(
        properties: MongoProperties?,
        environment: Environment?,
        builderCustomizers: ObjectProvider<MongoClientSettingsBuilderCustomizer>?,
        settings: ObjectProvider<MongoClientSettings>?
    ): MongoClient {
        return super.mongo(properties, environment, builderCustomizers, settings)
    }
}

@Profile("mongo")
@Configuration
@EnableConfigurationProperties(MongoProperties::class)
class CustomMongoDataAutoConfiguration : MongoDataAutoConfiguration()

In Java the exclution can be achieved with @SpringBootApplication(exclude = {MongoAutoConfiguration.class, MongoDataAutoConfiguration.class})
