Exception in monitor thread while connecting to se

Question

I have the following exception when running Java app for MongoDB:

[localhost:27017] org.mongodb.driver.cluster : Exception in monitor thread while connecting to server localhost:27017 while accessing MongoDB with Java

Call stack is follows:

Neither of these names belong to my application. Also I have NO MONGODB server on local host. I am using remote host and setting it later. An exception occurs BEFORE any of my statements concerning Mongo.

UPDATE

This is probably some Spring provided beans accessing Mongo. How to disable them?

My config contains following dependencies:

dependencies {
    compile('javax.media:jai_core:1.1.3')
    //compile('jai_core:1.1.3')

//  compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb')
    compile('org.mongodb:mongodb-driver:3.0.4')
    compile('org.mongodb:bson:3.0.4')

    compile('org.geotools:gt-api:14.2')
    compile('org.geotools:gt-shapefile:14.2')
    compile('org.geotools:gt-geometry:14.2')
    compile('org.geotools:gt-referencing:14.2')
    compile('org.geotools:gt-geojson:14.2')
    compile('org.geotools:gt-mongodb:14.2')

    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web')
    providedRuntime('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat')
    testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test') 
}

i.e. I have removed org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb and was thinking will use Mongo myself...

UPDATE2

I found related question: How to disable spring-data-mongodb autoconfiguration in spring-boot

Answer 1

I can't say for sure. Its kind of not enough information question.

I can say that: mongo driver by default tries to connect to the local host. Probably you haven't specified the mongo host/port.

So you'll have to configure the mongo db host/port/credentials (if you have those).

Maybe its network related issue or firewall (try to connect to mongo db from your machine directly with cli / even running a basic program that uses only mongo driver).

From the stacktrace I don't see any usage of spring, so more information is required to say for sure.

In general you can analyze the dependencies in gradle by using gradle dependencies command (see Here)

Hope this helps

Answer 2

I was to add exclusion annotation to my main annotated class,

i.e. instead of

@SpringBootApplication

I should have

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={MongoAutoConfiguration.class})

Answer 3

It seems your server is not running. Also if it running, it is doing so on a different port.

Answer 4

try adding

spring.data.mongodb.host=hostIpOnWhichMongoIsRunning spring.data.mongodb.port=27017

into application.properties. if mongo is not running on localhost, this should fix the issue.
