JavaZone 2011 - MongoDB and the JVM: Bringing NoSQL and the Java Platform Together
MongoDB is a scalable, high-performance, open source, document-oriented NoSQL database. It features document-oriented, JSON-based document storage and dynamic schemas providing simplicity, power and flexibility, combined with full indexes similar to what a traditional RDBMS user would expect. MongoDB also provides solid replication & high availability features as well as an auto-sharding system for transparent horizontal scalability.
This talk introduces MongoDB for developers who aren't familiar with it, and discusses various integration points for MongoDB & the JVM including Spring's "Spring Data" component for MongoDB, the Morphia Object Mapper for Java, MongoDB's Scala Drivers (Casbah, as well as a new experimental Asynchronous driver), Akka Durable Mailboxes, Lift's MongoDB Active-Record integration, and MongoDB's Hadoop integration.

Brendan McAdams, a software engineer at 10gen, explores the deeper relationship between the MongoDB database and various languages on the Java Virtual Machine such as Java, Scala, Clojure, JRuby and Python as well as the challenges posted getting MongoDB to play nice with these tools and their syntax.
