With Scala Salat (using mongodb casbah), how to store and load binary data?

Question

I have a product case class defined in the way Salat expects.

case class Product(@Key("product_id") productId: String, 
                   @Key("png_image_binary") pngImageBinary: ???)

How can I add pngImageBinary so I can store this as a binary object?

Answer 1

For binary data you can use Array[Byte]. It's equivalent of java byte[], which maps to Binary BSON type. Check java types and BSON types from mongodb documentation.
