$ne expressions are now only being tried to be converted into an ObjectId in case they follow an id property. Previously they tried in every case which might have led to Strings being converted into ObjectIds that accidentally were valid ObjectIds but didn't represent an id at all.
So far the algorithm to inspect whether an id property has to be set after a save(…) operation has used the plain BeanWrapper.getProperty(PersistentProperty property) method. This caused problems in case the getter of the id field returned something completely different (to be precise: a complex type not convertible out of the box).
We now inspect the id field only to retrieve the value.
When reading BasicDBLists we now make sure the resulting collection is converted into the actual target type eventually. It might be an array and thus need an additional round of massaging before being returned as value.
As we try to massage the value of the id property into an ObjectId if possible we need to do so as well when mapping the Querydsl query. Adapted SpringDataMongoDbSerializer accordingly.
MongoDbUtils now correctly returns DB instances for others than the first one bound. So far the lookup for an alternate database resulted in the first one bound to be returned.
ServerAddressPropertyEditor now only eventually fails if none of the configured addresses can be parsed correctly. Strengthened the parsing implementation to not fail for host-only parsing or accidental double commas. Cleaned up test dependency setup.
The type of the value returned for the total field of the timing map in map-reduce results has changed from Integer to Long as of MongoDB version 2.1.0 apparently. Changed MapReduceResults to accommodate either Integer or Long types.
So far URL instances were treated as entities and serialized as nested document. As there was no custom converter registered to re-instantiate the objects and URL does not contain a no-arg constructor, reading the instances back in resulted in an ugly exception in ReflectionEntityInstantiator. We now register a custom Converter to serialize URL instances as their plain toString() representation. This causes the reading working out of the box as the StringToObjectConverter registered by default uses the constructor taking a String on URL accidentally. To make sure this still works we added an explicit StringToURLConverter to implement symmetric conversions.
Reject PersistentEntity instances that don't have a PersistenceConstructor as this indicates a mapping problem (either a constructor needed to be annotated or a custom converter registered).
The raw result for a map-reduce operation might contain a complex element containing the output collection in case the original request configured an output database as option. Adapted the parsing of the output collection to accommodate both scenarios (plain String value as well as DBObject wrapper).
The debug output now uses the already mapped query object when concatenating the log string. Improved applying the id after save operations by inspecting whether the object already has the id set before trying to set it. This could have caused problems in case you use a complex id and don't provide a custom converter as it can be serialized out of the box. Fixed minor glitch in MappingMongoConverter which was not really a bug as another path through the code has covered the scenario later on. Introduced SerializationUtils class that provides a method to safely serialize objects to pseudo JSON. Pseudo in the sense that it simply renders a complex object as { $java : object.toString() }. This is useful for debug output before the DBObject was mapped into Mongo-native types.
Using List as return type for paginating methods didn't work for query methods currently. Fixed by inspecting the Pageable parameter potentially handed into them and restricting the result set accordingly.
When using the not() method combined with the regex(…) methods on Criteria we created an invalid query so far. Fixed the regex(…) method to always transform the regex expressions and options into a Pattern instance and render that according to the $not state.
SimpleMongoDbFactory now only closes the Mongo instance if it created it itself. Removed public getter for WriteConcern and hold a UserCredentials instead of its parts.
Removed UUIDToBinaryConverter and BinaryToUUIDConverter as the MongoDB Java driver can handle it itself. Added UUID as Mongo-simple type. Added integration test for reading and writing a UUID property.
MongoQueryCreator used the outdated OrQuery class to concatenate parts with OR. Refactored the class to use the Criteria.orOperator(…) method and deprecated the OrQuery class to be removed in the 1.1.x branch.
Fixed a ClassCastException that occurred because we didn't consider index information of geo indexes (they return "2d" as direction). Introduced new IndexField abstraction that supersedes the fieldSpec Map in IndexInfo.
When using a PropertyPlaceHolderConfigurer to set WriteConcerns on a MongoFactoryBean just like this:
<bean class="….mongodb.core.MongoFactoryBean">
<property name="writeConcern" value="${mongodb.writeConcern}"/>
</bean>
we might create invalid WriteConcerns as the BeanFactory will use the WriteConcern's constructor taking a String to create the instance by default. To make Spring use the valueOf(…) method in advance one needs to register either our already existing WriteConcernPropertyEditor or the newly introduced StringToWriteConcernConverter in Springs ConversionService.
