Just posted a new project called CFMongoMap, this should make it easy for users to transform MongoDB objects -> CF Objects and vice versa...

This is a PRE BETA an I do need feedback on this.

Hi Bill,

I'm trying your sample code given in this blog and am getting an error saying :

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: can't serialize class com.mongodb.ObjectId

Here is my code:

config = createObject("component","cfmongodb.MongoConfig");
mongo = createobject("component","cfmongodb.Mongo").init(config);
db = mongo.query("neiltest");
person = {name="neil",age=27,job="developer"};
id = mongo.save(person,"neiltest");

person.job = "software developer";
mongo.update(person,"neiltest");

I cannot seem to update the person structure in the mongoDB. I'm using Marc Esher's version. Can you please help?

Regards,
Neil

Koen,

You're absolutely correct. This post was written using an older version of MongoDB. Version 1.6 is not compatible with the example code. I'll look up the change and note it here. You may also want to look at Marc Esher's work with CFMongoDB - http://github.com/marcesher/cfmongodb

Hi Bill,

Very nice article, and a good start point for using CF with MongoDB. However, when trying your example up and running, my CF9-local-dev-instance gave this error(see below). Or the BasicDBObject that is use to insert is wrong typed, or CF find somewhere a conflict with the insert name...

I'am using the mongo2.1.jar in the classpath of my CF (not the javaloader).

The insert method was not found.
Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types or the insert method is overloaded with argument types that ColdFusion cannot decipher reliably. ColdFusion found 0 methods that match the provided arguments. If this is a Java object and you verified that the method exists, use the javacast function to reduce ambiguity.

Greetings
Koen

1.5.0_19

I am going to look into updating it. My Linux servers are running 1.6 so I was able to get it running over there.

Hi Evan, Which JVM version is your CF8 instance using? I ask because my Windows/CF8 uses 1.6.0_04 - I'll check my Ubuntu env later ... I suspect trying a different JVM would be a better path than recompiling the Java source to your VM. --bill

Billy,

I am trying to play around with MongoDB, but I am running into a road block. The problem isn't with your CFC, but you seem to be very knowledgeable with ColdFusion and MongoDB so I thought I would ask you about it. I'm currently working locally on my Mac with CF8. The problem is when I instantiate the Mongo Class I get an UnsupportedClassVersionError exception. I've read where the java client requires JVM v1.5, which I have, but I don't know what sub-version the classes were complied on. I would think my options are to upgrade my JVM (which I am hesitant to do since things are working well right now) or to recompile the class files locally (but since I don't see the java files, I don't know if that is an option).

Am I missing something? Do you have any thoughts?

Thanks,
Evan Keller

I'm glad some other people are exploring Object-Oriented Databases too! I've put some work into CouchDB for Coldfusion, but it still has a ways to go. It's nice that the MongoDB java driver works so well in CF!
I've been thinking it would really help promote OODBs for CF if there was a solid RIA Forge project using it. A blog seems like a good place to start...

Thanks, Charlie. Keep me posted on what you find, too. I plan at least 2 or 3 other posts on MongoDB, which I'm really liking. -bill

Hey Bill:

Very cool stuff. I'd heard of CouchDB before, but didn't quite grok what it was all about.

Looking forward to installing Mongo tonite and taking it for a spin.
