Spring Boot app not connecting to the database specified in application.property for Mongodb

Question

I have developer Application in Spring boot and exported the war file and placed it in tomcat 9 server. When I try to test the API in Rest client the app is connecting to test DB instead of the DB which I declared in application.property for mongodb, below is my application.property

Database name.
spring.data.mongodb.database=IndianFarms

Mongo server host.
spring.data.mongodb.host=localhost

Mongo server port.
spring.data.mongodb.port=27017

logging
logging.level.org.springframework.data=debug
logging.level.=error

spring.jackson.default-property-inclusion=NON_NULL

Can any one help me in this.

And where is the configuration of test DB is mentioned in the application? — Smile, Jan 20 '20 at 08:57

Ok, so what exactly is the test DB? How do you know the application is connecting to a particular test DB? — Smile, Jan 20 '20 at 10:00
@Smile when i try to save some data in collection mondoDB is automatically creating test DB and saving the data in that. — Suru, Jan 20 '20 at 10:39

After lot of search and research in came to know that spring boot auto configure lot of things internally. Declaration in application.properties file is not working. We have to programmatically do this. Below is how I did it. Now Spring boot is connection to correct database which is in my case IndianFarms. @Smile thanks your suggestion helped me to find out exact cause.

@Configuration
public class MongoConfig {


    @Bean
    public MongoDbFactory mongoDbFactory() {

        MongoClient mongoClient = new MongoClient("127.0.0.1:27017");

        return new SimpleMongoDbFactory(mongoClient, "IndianFarms" );
    }

    @Bean
    public MongoTemplate mongoTemplate() {
        return new MongoTemplate(mongoDbFactory());
    }
}

Gee it sure would be swell if you could add the imports namespaces for the type references... — barrypicker, Dec 30 '20 at 03:17
