Simple application using MongoDB with Spring Data and Spring Rest Controllers

MongoDB and Spring Data

• Basics (created with MongoDB 2.6.3)
• User defined queries in repository interface
• JSR 303 validation with annotations (on Place)
• Indexes (default, single-field)
• Embedded documents with ID
• AbstractMongoEventListener (AfterLoadListener for statistics, BeforeSaveValidator for validation)

Spring Rest

• Basics of @RestController
• @PathVariable, @RequestParam, @RequestBody
• Input data validation with @Valid, @InitBinder and PlaceDtoValidator
• Error handler (RestErrorHandler)
• Returns json. Pay attention on usage of com.fasterxml.jackson.core v.2+ instead of org.codehaus.jackson and RequestMappingHandlerAdapter definition in the context xml
• @ResponseBody and @ResponseEntity
• Localization

General: Example of response body for initial data population (addressDTOs list and addressAlias field are optional): { "name": "place4", "notes": "place4 notes", "addressDTOs": [ { "addressAlias": "Central location", "address": "Street 4, 2", "metro": "Center-4", "comment": "My first address" } ] }
