frederic rougeot commented on SLING-7457:
-----------------------------------------
yes I confirm absolutely no problem to connect by default, it is immediate with
any tool (MongoDB Compass or Robo 3T).
No firewall issue as everything runs on local: sling and mongodb ...
What is strange is that that behaviour was totally different when using the
nosql launchpad as earlier said; the sling database was created ...
Furthermore, the error logs should lead to another message to the user when
trying to get the sling homepage, it should be written "Error connecting to
database" not "Sling is starting" ...
> Poor documentation on mongoDB or other NOSQL use

> I am evaluating sling.
> I succeed in setting it up and it works as I thought, seems to be a very
> valuable product for those who want to rapidlly build a software that relies
> on JCR, which is my case.
> But the next question is "Should I use a noSQL Database or not". As it may be
> an important choice, since Sling is not really compatible with SQL database,
> I wanted to make sling run with MongoDB.
> I read the documentation, and at first impression, it seemed quite immediate;
> I simply have to add an option to change the mode of launching the starter
> application, as it is said in the following documentation:
> [https://sling.apache.org/documentation/the-sling-engine/the-sling-launchpad.html]
>
> So I tried to launch the starter application with the following lines:
> java -Dsling.run.modes=oak,oak_mongo -jar
> org.apache.sling.starter-10-SNAPSHOT.jar
> and checked with a mongodb client if a mongodb server was started or not ...
> As I was unable to connect to mongodb://localhost:27017 I guess something is
> missing, maybe mongodb should be installed separetely ?
>
> I continue reading the documentation, and find
> [https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/nosql-resource-providers.html]
> OK, my conclusion was I missed to install the nosql-resource-providers, so I
> installed the bundle and check again ...
> Nothing new, it seems I have done nothing.
> So, always according to
> [https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/nosql-resource-providers.html,]
> there is another launchpad to use.
> There is the link to the source code:
> https://github.com/apache/sling-old-svn-mirror/tree/trunk/contrib/nosql/launchpad
> But it is said that this source repository is obsolete and shall not be used.
> So I get back to apache git repository, and filtered on "sling" and "nosql",
> I can find some code now ...
> https://github.com/apache?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=sling+nosql&type=&language=
> But it is absolutely not clear to me whether I have to do something with that
> modules or not ...
> So my real problem is I can't get the right documentation on "How to setup
> Sling 9 to work with mongodb" and there is, as far as I know, no forum where
> I can ask this to a community to help.
> I guess sling is working well with mongoDB, but if I need 10 days to set it
> up (I spend 1 day, maybe it is not enough) my point of view is made: I won't
> use mongodb.
> But this maybe a terrible mistake !
>
> So help please !
