Class Mongo

java.lang.Object
  com.mongodb.Mongo

public class Mongo
extends Object

A database connection with internal pooling. For most application, you should have 1 Mongo instance for the entire JVM. The following are equivalent, and all connect to the local database running on the default port:

 Mongo mongo1 = new Mongo( "127.0.0.1" );
 Mongo mongo2 = new Mongo( "127.0.0.1", 27017 );
 Mongo mongo3 = new Mongo( new DBAddress( "127.0.0.1", 27017, "test" ) );
 Mongo mongo4 = new Mongo( new ServerAddress( "127.0.0.1") );
 

Mongo instances have connection pooling built in - see the requestStart and requestDone methods for more information. http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Java+Driver+Concurrency

Connecting to a Replica Set

You can connect to a replica set using the Java driver by passing several a list if ServerAddress to the Mongo constructor. For example:

 List addrs = new ArrayList();
 addrs.add( new ServerAddress( "127.0.0.1" , 27017 ) );
 addrs.add( new ServerAddress( "127.0.0.1" , 27018 ) );
 addrs.add( new ServerAddress( "127.0.0.1" , 27019 ) );

 Mongo mongo = new Mongo( addrs );
 

By default, all read and write operations will be made on the master. But it's possible to read from the slave(s) by using slaveOk:

 mongo.slaveOk();
