title: meteor and java app data push
body: <p>I have this set up - Java application is collecting and pushing data to mongodb for client side to retrieve and display. I want to try to use meteor for the client side. What is the best approach with meteor:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>use DDPClient to connect to meteor's mongodb and <em>only</em> push data to it 
  or</p></li>
  <li><p>configure meteor to point to my existing mongodb that is already collecting data from my Java application</p></li>
  </ul>
