You can create datasources to expose data in MongoDB databases, as services, using the WSO2 Data Services Server. You can select MongoDB as the datasource type at the time a datasource is created. That is, the MongoDB specific options will be available as shown below.
The fields available for MongoDB data source type are as follows:
- Servers: A comma separated list of server hosts and ports where the database is running. E.g.: "localhost" - "125.10.5.3, 125.10.5.4" - "192.168.3.1:27017, 192.168.3.2:27017"
- Database Name: The name of the database to which you want to connect.
Write Concern: The write concern value to control the write behaviour for with the following options, as well as exception raising on error conditions.
Option Description FSYNC_SAFE Exceptions are raised for network issues, and server errors. The write operation waits for the server to flush the data to disk. NONE No exceptions are raised, even for network issues. NORMAL Exceptions are raised for network issues, but not server errors. REPLICAS_SAFE Exceptions are raised for network issues, and server errors; waits for at least 2 servers for the write operation. SAFE Exceptions are raised for network issues, and server errors; waits on a server for the write operation. Read Preference: The read preference value which describes how MongoDB clients route read operations to members of a replica set. It has the following options.
Option Description PRIMARY Default mode. All operations read from the current replica set primary. SECONDARY All operations read from the secondary members of the replica set. - Auto Connect Retry: To control whether or not to connect, the system retries automatically.
- Connection Timeout: Connect timeout in milliseconds. 0 is default and infinite.
- Max. Wait: Max wait time of a blocking thread for a connection.
- Socket Timeout: Socket timeout value. 0 is default and infinite.
- Connections per Host: Number of connections allowed per host will block if run out.
- Threads Allowed to Block For Connection Multiplier: Multiplier for connectionsPerHost for # of threads that can block if connectionsPerHost is 10, and threadsAllowedToBlockForConnectionMultiplier is 5, then 50 threads can block more than that and an exception will be throw.
