Mongodb repica set config in a property file

We have a grails project in production. Grails version is 2.3.4. We are using MongoDB for persistence. Earlier, we had all the config hardcoded inside DataSource.groovy. The client demanded that the config be outside the .war file. So we moved it to a .groovy file. Everything was working fine, including the repicaSet config. Then the client came up with another requirement. Since a groovy file can be used to give any programmable instruction, it can be misused by a person whose job is just to update a property file. So they want all the config in a .properties file.

here is the contents of my .properties file

grails.mongo.host=10.3.253.201
grails.mongo.port=27017
grails.mongo.databaseName=testDb
grails.mongo.username=mongouser
grails.mongo.password=mongouser

Where can I give the details of replicaSet? Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • I would like to answer this question in case someone else is facing the same isssue.

    grails.mongo.uri=mongodb://10.3.253.201,10.3.253.202,10.3.253.203/test
grails.mongo.host=10.3.253.201
grails.mongo.port=27017
grails.mongo.databaseName=test
grails.mongo.username=mongouser
grails.mongo.password=mongouser

    This is the content of my config.properties file and it started working for me.

    201 was the primary node and the other two were backup in my cluster.

    Regards.
