i created a mongodb instance in mongolab
It provided me with a connection URI.
mongodb://<dbuser>:<dbpassword>@ds041177.mongolab.com:41177/myclouddb
I used the following java code to connect to my database-
Mongo m = new Mongo();
com.mongodb.DBAddress dba=new DBAddress("mongodb://admin:password@ds041177.mongolab.com:41177/myclouddb");
m.connect(dba);
But this throws a NumberFormatException
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: ""
What am i doing wrong?
That is a MongoDB URI.
Instead of passing it to a DBAddress
just pass it to a MongoURI
and then pass that to the Mongo
instance.
String textUri = "mongodb://admin:password@ds041177.mongolab.com:41177/myclouddb";
MongoURI uri = new MongoURI(textUri);
Mongo m = new Mongo(uri);
You should also consider upgrading to the latest driver and switching to the MongoClient
class as the Mongo
class is now deprecated.
String textUri = "mongodb://admin:password@ds041177.mongolab.com:41177/myclouddb";
MongoClientURI uri = new MongoClientURI(textUri);
MongoClient m = new MongoClient(uri);
