Spring Data JPA and RDBMS and NoSQL

Question

All,

Is it possible to connect 2 different database (1. RDBMS using Hibernate and 2. MongoDB) using Spring-Data from a single application?

In our application, we would like to deliver images from MongoDB along with the other relational data from MySQL using Hibernate.

I would appreciate all your help.

Thanks

Answer 1

Yes it's possible.

You can have both JPA and Mongo repositories in the same application.

<mongo:repositories base-package="your.package.repository.mongo"/>
<jpa:repositories base-package="your.package.repository.jpa" />

There's nothing preventing you from using any type of repository combination you'd like.
