I am wondering if there is a good option for getting ISODates or any of the other built-in MongoDB types to work within the context of Spring. For example, given a very simple document:
/{ "time" : ISODate("2016-02-19T17:37:57.673+0000") }/ How might one get the ISODate to properly work with camel-mongo? I have been round and round with variations with no success. It appears according to the camel-mongo docs that I can send in a string and that string will be converted to a DBObject, but that does not appear to work with built-in types unless I am missing something obvious. /<convertBodyTo type="String" /> <to uri="mongodb:mongoBean?database=PMA&collection=Elmah&writeResultAsHeader=true&operation=insert" />/ *Error received:* /org.apache.camel.RuntimeCamelException: org.apache.camel.component.mongodb.CamelMongoDbException: MongoDB operation = insert, Body is not conversible to type DBObject nor List<DBObject>/ I have also attempted to convert to a string and then unmarshall using the Jackson parser, but the parser chokes on the ISODate as I suspect that it really does not understand the mongo built-in types. We do not code in Java and really do everything via Spring DSL. I can likely manipulate the JSON prior to sending on the exchange to camel-mongo, but still not sure what that manipulation might look like. I attempted to change it to this based on my very loose understanding that this was a possible solution: /{ "time" : { "$date" : "2016-02-19T17:37:57.673+0000" }}/ But that still did not work as I got the same error as mentioned above. I could try to get the Object --> DBObject conversion to work, but honestly I am not sure how to get the JSON string into the form of an Object within Spring before passing on the exchange to camel-mongo. Any advice / suggestions are VERY much appreciated.
