Spring Data mongo to insert null values to DB
<p>I am using Spring data mongo to insert a record to Mongo, </p>

<p>here is my code
mongoTemplate.save(person,"personCollection");</p>

<p>Here is my person object</p>

<pre><code>public class Person implements Serializable {
   int age;
   String address;
   String name;

//Getters and setters including hashcode and equals
}
</code></pre>

<p>my address is null here , after inserting the record in the collection, the data is populated with only age and name</p>

<p>i know that mongodb treats null value and noKey as the same thing, but my requirement is to even populate the address:null to have the schema consistent how do i do this with Spring Data mongo</p>

<p>current o/p: {"age":21,"name":"john Doe"}</p>

<p>expected o/p: {"age":21,"name":"john Doe","address":null}</p>
