Class Mongo

java.lang.Object

com.mongodb.Mongo

Direct Known Subclasses:

MongoClient

public class Mongo
extends Object

A database connection with internal connection pooling. For most applications, you should have one Mongo instance for the entire JVM.

The following are equivalent, and all connect to the local database running on the default port:

 Mongo mongo1 = new Mongo();
 Mongo mongo1 = new Mongo("localhost");
 Mongo mongo2 = new Mongo("localhost", 27017);
 Mongo mongo4 = new Mongo(new ServerAddress("localhost"));
 

You can connect to a replica set using the Java driver by passing a ServerAddress list to the Mongo constructor. For example:

 Mongo mongo = new Mongo(Arrays.asList(
   new ServerAddress("localhost", 27017),
   new ServerAddress("localhost", 27018),
   new ServerAddress("localhost", 27019)));
 

You can connect to a sharded cluster using the same constructor. Mongo will auto-detect whether the servers are a list of replica set members or a list of mongos servers.

By default, all read and write operations will be made on the primary, but it's possible to read from secondaries by changing the read preference:

 mongo.setReadPreference(ReadPreference.secondary());
 

By default, write operations will not throw exceptions on failure, but that is easily changed too:

 mongo.setWriteConcern(WriteConcern.SAFE);
 

Note: This class has been superseded by MongoClient, and may be deprecated in a future release.

Mongo

@Deprecated
public Mongo(List<ServerAddress> seeds)

Deprecated. Replaced by MongoClient.MongoClient(java.util.List)

Creates a Mongo based on a list of replica set members or a list of mongos. It will find all members (the master will be used by default). If you pass in a single server in the list, the driver will still function as if it is a replica set. If you have a standalone server, use the Mongo(ServerAddress) constructor.

If this is a list of mongos servers, it will pick the closest (lowest ping time) one to send all requests to, and automatically fail over to the next server if the closest is down.

Parameters:

seeds - Put as many servers as you can in the list and the system will figure out the rest. This can either be a list of mongod servers in the same replica set or a list of mongos servers in the same sharded cluster.

Throws:

MongoException
