spring boot mongodb xml configuration

Question

I'm trying to configure mongoClient using xml configuration in a spring boot application.

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot convert value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'com.mongodb.MongoCredential' for property 'credentials[0]': no matching editors or conversion strategy found

    at org.springframework.beans.AbstractNestablePropertyAccessor.convertIfNecessary(AbstractNestablePropertyAccessor.java:590)
    ... 26 common frames omitted

Spring Configuration file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:mongo="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo/spring-mongo.xsd">

<mongo:mongo-client id="mongoClient" credentials="user:password@testdb"></mongo:mongo-client>

</beans>

The spring-data-mongodb documentation also mentions about the credentials field in xml configuration. Not sure if I'm missing any dependencies or should I have to add some custom mapping converters.

Create the file: src\main\resources\application.properties

MONGODB (MongoProperties)

spring.data.mongodb.host= # the db host
spring.data.mongodb.port=27017 # the connection port (defaults to 27107)
spring.data.mongodb.uri=mongodb://localhost/test # connection URL
spring.data.mongodb.database=
spring.data.mongodb.authentication-database=
spring.data.mongodb.grid-fs-database=
spring.data.mongodb.username=
spring.data.mongodb.password=
spring.data.mongodb.repositories.enabled=true # if spring data repository support is enabled

Yes, I'm able to avoid that error with MongoClient by adding thespring-boot-starter-data-mongodb dependency and removing the xml configuration, This way, we can use MongoRepository and can avoid using the MongoClient. However, I was thinking if we really want to use a MongoClient, how can that be done. May be a Bean definition in java configuration might solve this. Need to check that.
