title: How to enable auditing for MongoDB via Annotations in Spring
body: <p>I wanted to enable some auditing features, such as @CreatedDate. I am not using Spring xml configuration file, so I cannot add mongo:auditing to Spring configuration. I was wondering if there was an alternative way of enable auditing. The following code is the model for user. But whenever I create a user, the date is not stored in the document, so the auditing it's not working. Could someone give me some help?</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Document(collection = "user")
  public class User {
      @Id
      private String id;
      @Indexed(unique = true)
      private String email;
      private String name;
      @CreatedDate
      private Date date;
  
      public String getId() {
          return id;
      }
  
      public void setId(String id) {
          this.id = id;
      }
  
      public String getName() {
          return name;
      }
  
      public void setName(String name) {
          this.name = name;
      }
  
      public String getEmail() {
          return email;
      }
  
      public void setEmail(String email) {
          this.email = email;
      }
  
      public String getDate() {
          return date;
      }
  
      public void setDate(Date date) {
          this.date = date;
      }
  </code></pre>
