- providing a generified, user friendly template classes for interacting with MongoDB.
- As with many of Spring's template classes, MongoTemplate simplifies the use of accessing the database for common use-cases and infrastructure concerns such as exception translation. Features include integrated object mapping between documents and domain classes and fluent DSLs for query and update operations. The chapter
<xref linkend= "mongodb:template" />
explains the abstraction builds on top of the low-level MongoDB Java API to handle the storage and retrieval of documents plus mapping between documents and domain classes.

compared to instantiating a <classname > com.mongodb.Mongo</classname>
instance directly, the FactoryBean approach has the added advantage of
also acting as an ExceptionTranslator that can be used to translate any
Mongo exceptions to exceptions in the

data access classes are annotatded with @Repository and you are using an
<classname > PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor</classname> (see
