Replaced hard coded List creation with delegate to Spring's CollectionFactory. Although the List should get converted before setting the value we can prevent that additional step by looking up the correct collection type upfront.
Unfortunately MongoDB can't handle BigDecimal instances by default thus we have to provide a default serialization. We do by simply serializing it into a String and reading it back. Can be customized to register a custom Converter with the MongoConverter.
Disabled index creation for repository query methods by default. Added property on MongoRepositoryFactoryBean to enable index creation and expose that via 'create-query-indexes' attribute on the namespace.
Changed the implementation of the exists(…) method to make sure the query is handed to the QueryMapper to convert the id appropriately before executing the query.
Entities can now use @Field annotation to define the order using the order attribute. We will simply start with the lower values and proceed to the higher ones. Unannotated properties are ordered behind all annotated (and order declared) ones. One might not assume any particular order for fields where the order is not manually defined.
Removed @FieldName as it is superseeded by @Field.
Adapted changes in Spring Data Commons for DATACMNS-49. We now automatically pick up classpath*:META-INF/mongo-named-queries.properties to find named queries when using the namespace. See AbstractMongoRepositoryIntegrationTests.findsPeopleByNamedQuery() for sample.
Removed obsolete methods from MappingMongoConverter exposing internals. Added JavaDoc here and there. Polished GeospatialIndex value object and added some assertions to it. Fixed generics warnings in GeoIndexedAppConfig.
Registering custom converts now automatically declares the custom handled types simple by using the SimpleTypeHolder built up by the CustomConversions instance. All the custom converter lookup logic is now in CustomConversions and AbstractMongoConverter uses that over handling it itself.
