Apache Camel - Connection Beans Without Spring

While writing some tests for an Apache Camel project, I just spent rather longer than I'd have liked trying to work out how to configure a connection bean for Mongo without using Spring.

Since I hide my embarrassments in public I thought I'd best share with anyone else with brain freeze.


Don't forget you need the camel-mongodb artifact in your pom.xml file. Good luck fellow travellers.

MapReduce with Mongoose and CoffeeScript

After searching the InterWeb for a decent MapReduce example coded in CoffeeScript I came up blank and decided to write my own. This one uses Mongoose too - well why use anything else?

I haven't written a whole lot of explanation in the text, but commented the code quite heavily so you can copy and paste and still have it with you.


Load Mongoose and connect to your database.Describe your schema and model and then load up some dummy data.

Now for the MapReduce stuff. If you still don't get MapReduce then you will once you read this Star Trek based article.

Define a Map function.

Define a Reduce function.

Get some output

The results will now be in a collection called "results" which you can look at with JMongoBrowser or whatever.

I hope this is of some use to you. If there are any corrections or improvements then please post something below.
