Cross Store Support

This library provided cross-store support similar to that provided by the Spring Data Mongo Project. However, aspect weaving is performed at runtime, meaning that there is no compile-time dependency on AspectJ.

Why this was created

This project exists because I use Project Lombok extensively on an internal project. However, Lombok is incompatible with AspectJ. Therefore, this project exists to bridge the gap.

Should you use this project?

Probably not. The Spring Data alternative is superior and better supported. However, if - like me - you're blocked by the AspectJ dependency, then you may like to consider this implementation instead.

Limitations

• When performing an update of a @RelatedDocument, the actual underlying document is removed from Mongo, and the new document is insterted. (This makes an Update a Delete/Insert operation).

Features

• Provides support for @RelatedDocument in an @Entity class, which will be persisted to Mongo, instead of JPA.
• Additionally, provides support for RelatedEntity in a Documents - ie., if a JPA entity exists in a Mongo document, a reference to the entity is persisted, rather than the entity itself.
