Hi, everyone!

Today we are going to show the steps for configuring MongoDB 3.3.4 with Spring Boot 1.5 in Windows 7.

First you have to download the MongoDB:

Here you have the official link: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/

Now here is the most important think, that don't tells the manual of mongodb:

You have to download the Windows parche: Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu and it will add a dll file that is necessary for running MongoDB.

Then, you have to create the directory C:/db/data.

Then, when MongoDB is installed and you have create the directory, you have to run the file C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe.

This file will open the MongoDB connection.

Here you have MongoDB running!

For the other side, you have to configure your mongoDB database connectio and driver in Spring Boot configuration.

You have to create a file named application-{environment}.yml with the next content:

spring:
    datasource:
        url: jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:27017/howdyl
        driver-class-name: mongodb.jdbc.MongoDriver
    jpa:
        show-sql: true            
hibernate:
    showSql: true
    dialect: org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect

And the magic, you run your application a mongoDB is running.
