Interface ConnectionFactory

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable

All Known Subinterfaces:

ProxiedConnectionFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

AuthenticationConnectionFactory, BootstrapConnectionFactory, ReplicaSetConnectionFactory, ShardedConnectionFactory, SocketConnectionFactory

public interface ConnectionFactory
extends Closeable

Provides an abstraction for constructing a connection. At the lowest level a connection to a MongoDB process is done through a SocketConnection but there are several connection facades to intelligently connect to Replica Sets and Shard configurations.

The BootstrapConnectionFactory can be used to boot strap the appropriate type of connection factory. It will use a single connection to a MongoDB process to perform a series of commands to determine the server configuration type (Sharded, Replica Set, Standalone) and the setup the appropriate delegate connection factory.
