MongoDB trying to connect to localhost, Why?
<p>I am currently developing a Java application connected to a remote MongoDB databse.</p>

<p>I have implemented the authentication methods fallowing the mongo guides:</p>

<pre><code>MongoCredential credential = MongoCredential.createScramSha1Credential(username, credentialDatabase, password.toCharArray());
MongoClient client = new MongoClient(new ServerAddress(hostname, port), Arrays.asList(credential));
mongoDatabase = client.getDatabase(database);
</code></pre>

<p>The app connect properly to the database but there is a thing i can't understand.It connects well to the remote server,but I don't know why it try to connect to localhost:27017.</p>

<pre><code>2016-03-07 16:13:29.662  INFO 12507 --- [*.*.*:25015] org.mongodb.driver.connection            : Opened connection [connectionId{localValue:1, serverValue:29}] to *.*.*.*:25015
