You can modify the config as you like: For the EMFMongoRepositoryConfigruator you currently see: "EMFMongoRepositoryConfigurator": { "mongo.instances": "yourName", "yourName.baseUris" : "mongodb://localhost/", "yourName.databases" : "yourDB", "yourName.yourDB.user" : "yourDBUser",// optional "yourName.yourDB.password" : "yourDBPassword", //optional "yourName.yourDB.repoType" : "PROTOTYPE" // prototype scoped service, can also be SINGLE } You can give you instance any name you like, e.g. 'petshop' and you want to configure a database called 'catsndogs'. Than you configuration would look like this: "EMFMongoRepositoryConfigurator": { "mongo.instances": "petshop", "petshop.baseUris" : "mongodb://localhost/", "petshop.databases" : "catsndogs", "petshop.catsndogs.user" : "mietzy", "petshop.catsndogs.user.env" : "USER_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE", "petshop.catsndogs.password" : "katze", "petshop.catsndogs.password.env" : "PASSWORD_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE", "petshop.catsndogs.repoType" : "PROTOTYPE" }
