Looping Over a Java Object and Passing One Field to a Mongo Query Similar to SQL WHERE...IN Clause - mongodb

Question

I am trying to construct a MongoDB equivalent of an SQL WHERE IN clause by iterating over a Java Object List and using one field in that list to fill in the IN data. Using generic example, I would like to build the following command in MongoDB syntax:
SELECT title FROM albums WHERE recorded_year IN ('1967','1968','1969','1970');
The SQL command IN data is extracted from the Album object recordedYear value using the following loop:
if (albums.size() <= 1000) {
sb.append("SELECT title FROM albums WHERE recorded_year");
sb.append(" IN (");
for (int i = 0; i < albums.size(); i++) {
sb.append("'");
sb.append(albums.get(i).getRecordedYear());
sb.append("'");
if (i < albums.size() - 1) {
sb.append(",");
} else {
sb.append(")");
}
}
}
Most Mongo/Java sites I visited seem to deal with command structures using hard-coded values which, while helpful, is completely impractical in real world applications. Any help in pointing to a good tutorial, or if someone has the actual code itself would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Answer 1

But the issue I am having is understanding how to pass a Java Object
list to the to the getAllDocuments...
Make an array of elements which you want to match with the field using the in operator. For example, If you have a someObject.year field, then the array will have the year values; int [] matchYears = { 1989, 2001, 2012 }. Instead of an array you can also use a List collection.
The query:
Bson queryFilter = in("recordedYear", matchYears);
List<Document> result = new ArrayList<>();
collection.find(queryFilter).into(result);
result.forEach(System.out::println);
The queryFilter is built using the com.mongodb.client.model.Filters factory class.
The MongoDB documentation on using the $in operator.
NOTE: The int [] matchYears = { 1989, 2001, 2012 } can be also be created as
int [] matchYears = { javaObject1.recorded_year, javaObject2.recorded_year, ... }.

Answer 2

I didn't quite implement it with BSON, but the logic in the method appears to be working with the code below. Thank you again for your help.
public void getAlbumYears(MongoCollection<Document> collection, List<Album> albums) {
BasicDBObject inQuery = new BasicDBObject();
List<String> year = new ArrayList<>();
for(Album album : albums) {
year.add(album.getYear());
}
inQuery.put("year", new BasicDBObject("$in", year));
for (Document document : collection.find(inQuery)) {
System.out.println(document.toJson());
}
}
