No suitable ServiceConnectorCreator found

[ryanjbaxter]

I am using the Cloud.getServiceConnector API to get an instance of MongoServiceInfo in a non-spring app deployed to CF but the API is throwing an exception saying no suitable ServiceConnectorCreator found. When I call cloud.getServiceInfo() I see the service in the list with the correct id and I can cast it to an an instance of MongoServiceInfo. Any idea why I would be getting this error?

@ryanjbaxter Cloud.getServiceConnector() isn't meant to be used to get a ServiceInfo, but rather a service connector (such as MongoDbFactory) without the need to access ServiceInfo (typical Spring usage). If you need just the MongoServiceInfo, then getServiceInfos(MongoServiceInfo.class) is the way to go.

If you are trying to create a service connector other than MongoDbFactory (say from a non-spring library) and don't want to access ServiceInfo directly, you may register your own creator. Follow the trail starting at https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-cloud/blob/master/spring-service-connector/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/org.springframework.cloud.service.ServiceConnectorCreator (spring-cloud's extensibility mechanism)

OK makes more sense. Sorry for the confusion.
