Hi I am getting below exception when I upgraded java mongodriver and spring-data-mongo version.

from Java Mongo Driver

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.mongodb</groupId>
      <artifactId>mongo-java-driver</artifactId>
      <version>2.14.3</version>
    </dependency>

to

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.mongodb</groupId>
            <artifactId>mongodb-driver-sync</artifactId>
            <version>4.11.0</version> <!-- MongoDB Driver Version -->
        </dependency>

and Spring data from

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-data-mongodb</artifactId>
      <version>1.5.5.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency> 

to

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-data-mongodb</artifactId>
      <version>1.8.0.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

This I did to upgrade to support Mongo Server 7.0 as per the guideline below.
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/java/sync/v4.5/compatibility/

But Getting the below exception. Please help me to resolve this issue.
