Java MongoDB Driver Connection Question

Question

Im using the MongoDB Java driver in a java web app. One question I want to ask is do i run Mongo.close() whenever Im doing doing a query , or can I keep it open and run other queries on it and close it when my application ends.

Answer 1

You should be able to run multiple commands against this single connection.

Some useful details from the documentation.

The Mongo object instance actually represents a pool of connections to the database; you will only need one object of class Mongo even with multiple threads.
