Check the docs before asking a question: https://docs.abp.io/en/commercial/latest/ Check the samples to see the basic tasks: https://docs.abp.io/en/commercial/latest/samples/index The exact solution to your question may have been answered before, and please first use the search on the homepage. Provide us with the following info:

ABP Framework version: v7.4.0
UI Type: MVC
Database System: MongoDB
Tiered (for MVC) or Auth Server Separated (for Angular): yes
Exception message and full stack trace:
Steps to reproduce the issue:

I have an issue with the last version update (7.4.0). I am using the application template generated by the ABP Suite CLI and using MongoDB as the database provider. I am currently using the ABP.io version 7.2.2

When I'm trying to update to the latest version (7.4.0) I found out that the MongoDB .Net driver is now in version 2.19.1

This mongoDB driver version is now introducing a breaking change in our code because it changes what kind of type that are safe to be serialized:

"The ObjectSerializer allows serialization and deserialization only of types that are considered safe. When you construct an ObjectSerializer, you can pass in a delegate of type Func<Type, bool>. This delegate accepts an object type and returns a boolean value indicating whether the type is safe for serialization."

The issue is that some classes cannot be Serialized correctly, I'am now getting the following error :

MongoDB.Bson.BsonSerializationException : Type ContainRule is not configured as a type that is allowed to be serialized for this instance of ObjectSerializer

For me, this look like a Object serializer registration issue when we need to specify the Allowed type (our own classes). So, following the MongoDB FAQ, I tried to configure the Serialization allowed type by adding the following instructions (link : https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/csharp/v2.19/faq/#what-object-types-can-be-serialized-) :

I added this code in the custom MongoDB module (generated by ABP) during the context initialization (CreateModel()) (In fact, I tried to set this almost anywhere, because it's noted by MongoDB FAQ that this should be set a soon a possible in the program configuration process)

var objectSerializer = new ObjectSerializer(type => ObjectSerializer.DefaultAllowedTypes(type)
    || type.FullName.StartsWith("com.ourcustomdomain.nodes"));
BsonSerializer.RegisterSerializer(objectSerializer);

But this do not work either, I always got the following error : --- MongoDB.Bson.BsonSerializationException : There is already a serializer registered for type Object.

FYI: We are using a entity that look like this:

public class CustomNode : Entity<Guid>
{
    public string ComputeInstructions { get; set; }

    public IList<IRule> Rules { get; set; }

}

With a property that use a list of IRule that is the following interface


public interface IRule
{
    RuleItem RuleItem { get; set; }

    List<double> RuleVector { get; set; }
    
    string VectorModel { get; set; }
}

And some possible implementations:

public class ContainRule : IRule

public class ExcludeRule : IRule

Until now, we only needed to register the implementation in the BsonClassMap by adding this in the module ConfigureServices() method:

lock (_lock)
{
    if (!BsonClassMap.IsClassMapRegistered(typeof(ContainRule)))
    {
        BsonClassMap.RegisterClassMap<ContainRule>();
    }
    if (!BsonClassMap.IsClassMapRegistered(typeof(ExcludeRule)))
    {
        BsonClassMap.RegisterClassMap<ExcludeRule>();
    }

}

Using these entity work perfectly is version 7.2.2 (serialization & deserialization).

When looking in the source code of the Volo.Abp.MongoDB module, I did not really find, if any, where the serialization default object is done and if we can setup the Allowed type.

Please can you help me on this ? I cannot upgrade to the 7.4.0 and next version because of this issue.
