MongoDB Embedded Reference Duplicate Error

I am new to MongoDB, and coming from Sql database systems. I am confused about embedded reference's of mongodb.



I use Java Spring Framework and MongoRepository interface of Spring. I have a class (User) that annotated with @Document and has a String field (id) of annotated @Indexed(unique = true). I have second class (Device) that has an embedded User object in it. It's like many-to-one relation (many devices may belong one user), however when I try to save second device with same User, application throws en error E11000 duplicate key error collection: test.device index: user.id dup key: { : "5a8549fbeed7ae612d6a10d1" }.



I tried making User object in Devices reference (with @DBRef annotation), and @Indexed(unique = false), I could manage to save two devices. However, I dont want to use reference document, embedding document will be better.



I just wonder, is my approach wrong? Or my configuration was wrong?

          You can use @Transient annotation over Device.user field if the user information is not relevant. If you need the User information in Device document try to use the User.id field (sql approach).
