MongoDB querying with Java API

Here is the sample document of my MongoDB:
user:{
_id:1,
name:'xyz',
age:12,
mobile:21321312,
transaction:[{
trans_id:1,
prod:'a',
purchasedAt:ISODate("2015-02-01"),
},
{
trans_id:2,
prod:'b',
purchasedAt:ISODate("2015-02-01")
},
{
trans_id:3,
prod:'c',
purchasedAt:ISODate("2014-11-24")
}]
,...
}
My query looks like:
db.user.find({transaction:{$elemMatch:{prod:'a', purchasedAt:ISODate("2015-02-01")}}, transaction:{$elemMatch:{prod:{$nin:['b','c']}, purchasedAt:ISODate("2015-02-01")}}}).count()
I am trying to get the user count who have purchased product 'a' on date "2015-02-01" but not have purchased product b & c on same day.
So while trying to do this in Java with the query:
coll.find(new BasicDBObject().append("transaction", new BasicDBObject("$elemMatch", new BasicDBObject("prod", 'a').append("purchasedAt", Date))).append("transaction", new BasicDBObject("$elemMatch", new BasicDBObject("prod", new BasicDBObject("$nin",['b','c'])).append("purchasedAt", Date)));
I have also tried:
coll.find(new BasicDBObject("transaction", new BasicDBObject("$elemMatch", new BasicDBObject("prod", 'a').append("purchasedAt", Date))).append("transaction", new BasicDBObject("$elemMatch", new BasicDBObject("prod", new BasicDBObject("$nin",['b','c'])).append("purchasedAt", Date)));
where Date is "2015-02-01" in util.Date object.
I found out that Java ignores the $in part of the query, i.e. it ignores {transaction:{$elemMatch:{prod:'a', purchasedAt:ISODate("2015-02-01")}} & performs only $nin part.
I found out it by DBCursor object.
Here's the output of the cursor:
Cursor: Cursor id=0, ns=mydb.user, query={ "transaction" : { "$elemMatch" : { "prod" : { "$nin" : [ "b" , "c"]} , "purchasedAt" : { "$date" : "2015-02-01T00:00:00.000Z"}}}}, numIterated=0, readPreference=primary
Because of this my result is inaccurate. I wonder why the exact same query works well in Mongo shell but doesn't with Java API. Is there anything wrong with my query structure?

My guess is that this question is now moot, but, if you still do not consider it answered, are you looking for the "$not" operator, which can check for non-existance sort of.

Mongo DB Aggregate Query returns in Batches

I have the following code, :
CommandResult cr = db.doEval("db." + collectionName + ".aggregate("
+ query + ")");
Command result is giving in batches, where I need to get in single value.
Batch Result:{ "serverUsed" : "/servername" , "retval" : { **"_firstBatch**" : [ { "visitor_localdate" : 1367260200} , { "visitor_localdate"
Expected Result:
{ "serverUsed" : "/servername" , "retval" : { "**result**" : [ { "visitor_localdate" : 1367260200} , { "visitor_localdate"
The Mongo DB we are using is 2.6.4 with 64 bit.
Can any one help with this?. I am guessing there is some Configuration issue.

Your doing this all wrong. You don't need to jump through hoops like this just to get a dynamic collection name. Just use this syntax instead:
var collectionName = "collection";
var cursor = db[collectionName].aggregate( pipeline )
Where pipeline also is just the array of pipeline stage documents, ie:
var pipeline = [{ "$match": { } }, { "$group": { "_id": "$field" } }];
At any rate the .aggregate() method returns a cursor, you can iterate the results with standard methods:
while ( cursor.hasNext() ) {
var doc = cursor.next();
// do something with doc
}
But you are actually doing this in Java and not JavaScript, so from the base driver with a connection on object db you just do this:
DBObject match = new BasicDBObject("$match", new BasicDBObject());
DBObject group = new BasicDBObject("$group", new BasicDBObject());
List pipeline = new ArrayList();
pipeline.add(match);
pipeline.add(group);
AggregationOutput output = db.getCollection("collectionName").aggregate(pipeline);
The pipeline is basically a list interface of DBObject information where you construct the BSON documents representing the operations required.
The result here is of AggregationOutput, but cursor like results are obtainable by additionally supplying AggregationOptions as an additional option to pipeline

There was something related to bacth added in mongodb 2.6, more details here: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.collection.aggregate/#example-aggregate-method-initial-batch-size
From the link
db.orders.aggregate(
[
{ $match: { status: "A" } },
{ $group: { _id: "$cust_id", total: { $sum: "$amount" } } },
{ $sort: { total: -1 } },
{ $limit: 2 }
],
{
cursor: { batchSize: 0 }
}
)
You might be having a cursor batch in your aggregate query

The answer from Neil Lunn is not wrong but I want to add that the result you were expecting is a result for mongodb versions earlier than v2.6.
Before v2.6, the aggregate function returned just one document containing a result field, which holds an array of documents returned by the pipeline, and an ok field, which holds the value 1, indicating success.
However, from mongodb v2.6 on, the aggregate function returns a cursor (if $out option was not used).
See examples in mongodb v2.6 documentation and compare how it worked before v2.6 (i.e. in v2.4):

MongoDB Date query JAVA

Im trying to do a query to get all the values from my DB wich each have a date. One example:
leadTime: [
{
date: ISODate("2014-03-19T23:00:00Z"),
value: 25.8
},
{
date: ISODate("2014-03-20T23:00:00Z"),
value: 31.299999999999997
},
{
date: ISODate("2014-03-21T23:00:00Z"),
value: 34.4
}
]
enter code here
My code is:
DBObject query=new BasicDBObject("group",group);
DBObject serieData= col.findOne(query,new BasicDBObject(serie, 1));
if (serieData != null) {
List<DBObject> data = (List<DBObject>) serieData.get(serie);
for (DBObject item : data) {
result.add(new HistoryData((Date) item.get("date"),(Double) item.get("value")));
}
Now I want to get the values that the date is bigger than a date that I pass by parameter. The query I did is this:
DBObject query=new BasicDBObject("group",group)
.append("date", new BasicDBObject("$gte", parameterDate))
;
But I always receive the result empty, can you help me? sorry for my english and than

Assuming that leadTime is a field in your documents, your query has to look like this
DBObject query=new BasicDBObject("group",group)
.append("leadTime.date", new BasicDBObject("$gte", parameterDate))
;
The way you did it, MongoDB would have searched for a date field in your document root:
{ _id: "Foo",
date: ISODate("2014-03-19T23:00:00Z"),
[...]
}
Queries in MongoDB don't make a difference if the queried field is a single value or an array, so using the dot notation on a field which holds an array of subdocuments is perfectly valid.

What you want to do is not possible with a simple query.
But if you still want to do it in mongodb you need to use the aggregation framework, with something like that :
db.<col_name>.aggregate( [ { $unwind : "$group" }, { $match : {'group.date': { $gte : parameterDate } } ] )
this a js command, but you should be able to translate it easly in Java Driver (you can also add a $project operation to just return needed fields).

Updating value of a subfield in MongoDB with Java driver?

I've quite new to MongoDB and it's Java driver.
I need to update the value of a subfield, but I can't find any examples online.
The document:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("45678942342"),
"user" : "me",
"aStruct" : {
"subfield_1" : true,
"subfield_2" : true
}
}
How do I update the value of subfield subfield_1 to false, for every document that has user = me ?
Thank you.

You can do it as follows :
db.collection.update({user : "me"},{$set:{"aStruct.subfield_1" : false}}, false, true)
In Java you can do it as follows :
DBCollection coll = // Define your collection here
DBObject query = new BasicDBObject();
query.put("user", "me");
DBObject updateObj = new BasicDBObject();
updateObj.put("aStruct.subfield_1", false);
coll.updateMulti(query, new BasicDBObject("$set", updateObj));

How to execute full text search command in MongoDB with Java Driver ?

Mongo and Java gurus. Our team decided to use full text search API, introduced recently in MongoDB. However, we found some difficulties executing the command using the Java MongoDB driver.
here is my code I am using :
public BasicDBObject find(String search) {
BasicDBObject searchCommand = new BasicDBObject();
searchCommand.put("text", new BasicDBObject().append("search", search));
CommandResult commandResult = db.command(searchCommand);
}
This is what I get when I print
System.out.println(commandResult)
{ "serverUsed" : "/127.0.0.1:27017" , "errmsg" : "exception: wrong type for field (text) 3 != 2" , "code" : 13111 , "ok" : 0.0 }

Taken from a post on the Google group ( https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/mongodb-user/7jWUbunUcFQ ):
final DBObject textSearchCommand = new BasicDBObject();
textSearchCommand.put("text", collectionName);
textSearchCommand.put("search", textToSearchFor);
final CommandResult commandResult = db.command(textSearchCommand);
Shows exactly how to format the command.
