How to configure Spring Repository to use mongoTemplate defined in xml bean?

The code executes fine, but creates collections in default mongo database and location i.e in test database @ localhost:27017. In the mongoTemplate bean wired through the below xml, I'm using mydb as database with mongod instance running at localhost:27018. However, the data still gets persisted to default instance and database. MongoDB XML Bean defined in src/main/resources/mongo-context.xml: ``` <?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-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo/spring-mongo-1.0.xsd"> <mongo:mongo id="mongo" host="localhost" port="27018"/> <bean id="mongoTemplate" class="org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate"> <constructor-arg ref="mongo" /> <constructor-arg value="mydb" /> </bean> <mongo:repositories base-package="core.repository" mongo-template-ref="mongoTemplate"/> </beans> ``` Playlist repository: ``` package core.repository; import core.dao.Playlist; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate; import org.springframework.data.repository.Repository; /** * This repository provides CRUD operations for {@link core.dao.Playlist} objects. */ public interface PlaylistRepository extends Repository<Playlist, String> { /** * Finds the information of a single Playlist entry. * @param id The id of the requested Playlist entry. * @return The information of the found Playlist entry. If no Playlist entry * is found, this method returns an empty {@link java.util.Optional} object. */ Optional<Playlist> findOne(String id); /** * Saves a new Playlist entry to the database. * @param saved The information of the saved Playlist entry. * @return The information of the saved Playlist entry. */ Playlist save(Playlist saved); } ``` Playlist service that uses repository: ``` package core.service; import core.dao.*; import core.error.NotFoundException; import core.repository.PlaylistRepository; import core.simulator.PlaylistServiceSimulator;

this.simulator = simulator; } @Override public PlaylistDTO create(PlaylistDTO playlist) { LOGGER.debug("Creating a new Playlist entry with information: {}", playlist); Playlist persisted = Playlist.build() persisted = repository.save(persisted); LOGGER.debug("Created a new Playlist entry with information: {}", persisted); return persisted.toDTO(); } @Override public PlaylistDTO findById(String id) { LOGGER.debug("Finding Playlist entry with id: {}", id);

return result.orElseThrow(() -> new NotFoundException(id)); } } ``` pom.xml: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>myapp</groupId> <artifactId>core</artifactId> <version>0.1</version> <properties> <!-- Enable Java 8 --> <java.version>1.8</java.version> <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> <!-- Configure the main class of our Spring Boot application --> <start-class>core.CoreApp</start-class> </properties> <!-- Inherit defaults from Spring Boot --> <parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>1.1.9.RELEASE</version> </parent> <dependencies> <!-- Get the dependencies of a web application --> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId> </dependency> <!-- Spring Data MongoDB--> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId> <artifactId>spring-data-mongodb</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <scope>test</scope> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.hamcrest</groupId> <artifactId>hamcrest-core</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.hamcrest</groupId> <artifactId>hamcrest-all</artifactId> <version>1.3</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.assertj</groupId> <artifactId>assertj-core</artifactId> <version>1.7.0</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.mockito</groupId> <artifactId>mockito-core</artifactId> <version>1.9.5</version> <scope>test</scope> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.hamcrest</groupId> <artifactId>hamcrest-core</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-test</artifactId> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.jayway.jsonpath</groupId> <artifactId>json-path</artifactId> <version>0.9.1</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.jayway.jsonpath</groupId> <artifactId>json-path-assert</artifactId> <version>0.9.1</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <plugins> <!-- Spring Boot Maven Support --> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project> ``` Finally, SpringApplication boot class CoreApp: ``` package core;
