I am currently using GA release of Spring Data MongoDB framework and @DbRef is not saving child object automatically in spring data mongodb. Can you tell me how can i make it work?

Saving child objects is not built into Spring Data MongoDB so you have to do it manually or you can extend AbstractMongoEventListener as I described it in my article: Spring Data MongoDB cascade save on DBRef objects

    hey @Maciej can you please update the link to your article? moreover, I wanted a way to do it for db referenced collection object, do we have a way. I tried extending AbstractMongoEventListener, but my test case while saving and updating fails. – Hiren Sep 06 '17 at 21:55
