Is it possible to search based on some param value of a DBRef object in spring data.
eg. say we have two objects, Car, and Company as shown
Class Car {
#Id
String id;
String model;
#DBRef
Company company;
}
Class Company {
#Id
String id;
String name;
}
Can I write a query to fetch all car's of Hyundai company like this,
Query queryForCars = new Query(Criteria.where("company.name").is("Hyundai")), Car.class)
It works fine for non referenced objects, but for referenced object it's working in my case.
Thanks for your help.
For referenced objects this is how your query should look like:
Query queryForCars = new
Query(Criteria.where("company.$name").is("Hyundai")), Car.class)

I am trying to use nested Mongodb query but it does not work.
It is similar to Spring data mongodb query for subdocument field
But suggestions mentioned there does not work.
Please find my documents below.
#Document
public class Ticket {
#Id
private String id;
#DBRef
#CascadeSave
private Customer customer;
// getters and setters
}
#Document
public class Customer {
#Id
private String id;
private String firstName;
// getters and setters
}
public interface TicketRepository extends MongoRepository<Ticket, String> {
public List<Ticket> findByCustomerFirstName(String firstName);
}
I tried both findByCustomerFirstName and findByCustomer_FirstName but it does not work. Any suggestions ?
These suggestions are right it should work...
Official docs explains it as you did it:http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/mongodb/docs/current/reference/html/#repositories.query-methods.query-property-expressions
Property expressions can refer only to a direct property of the
managed entity, as shown in the preceding example. At query creation
time you already make sure that the parsed property is a property of
the managed domain class. However, you can also define constraints by
traversing nested properties. Assume a Person has an Address with a
ZipCode. In that case a method name of
List<Person> findByAddressZipCode(ZipCode zipCode);
creates the
property traversal x.address.zipCode
Just one thing, remove #Document from Customer and try it, Mongodb didn't support join queries (I'm not sure if now it does)... so you're document should be Ticket and it must have a embbebed document Customer as a inner object and not in a different document.
Say I have a User class which has a manual reference to a customer document:
public class User(){
#Id
public String id;
public String name;
public String customerId;
}
I want both the id & customerId to be stored as an ObjectId in mongo.
When saving a User document, the "id" gets converted to an ObjectId, however, the customerId gets saved as a string. I could have customerId of type ObjectId, but I would rather have the POJO as a string and have the customerId automatically convert to ObjectId when saving/querying. There does not seem to be any built in annotation which behaves like #Id, but can be used for manual references. How would I go about creating one, or is there a better solution? I have read a bit above converters, but I do not want to re-map the whole POJO to a DBObject.
Any advice would be appreciated.
when you get your customer data you have to create the objectId yourself.
Db.Customer.find({"_id" : new ObjectId("$valueFromUserTable")});
so in Spring Java you would:
ObjectId objId = new ObjectId("$valueFromUserTable");
Query query = new Query(Criteria.where("_id").is(objId));
Customer customer = super.mongoOps.find(query, Customer.class);
I have a collection of entities that look like this:
public class ClientEntity {
#Id
private String id;
#Indexed(unique = true)
private String clientId;
private String name;
#DBRef
private List<ClientMachineEntity> machines;
...
}
...where ClientMachineEntity looks like:
public class ClientMachineEntity {
#Id
private String id;
#Indexed(unique = true)
private String clientMachineId;
private String hostName;
...
}
I have a working search that finds ClientEntities by matching against "clientId" and "name":
public List<ClientEntity> searchByIdAndName(String id, String name) {
Criteria idCriteria = Criteria.where("clientId").regex(id, "i");
Criteria nameCriteria = Criteria.where("name").regex(name, "i");
Query query = new Query(new Criteria().orOperator(idCriteria, nameCriteria));
...
}
So my question is, how can I expand this search so that it also matches against "clientMachineId" in the list of sub-entities? I tried adding the following criteria:
Criteria machineCriteria = Criteria.where("machines.clientMachineId").regex(id, "i");
...but that doesn't work, presumably because machines is a LIST of entities, not just a single sub-entity.
UPDATE: It seems like what I'm looking for is the .elemMatch() functionality, but when I try that:
Criteria machineCriteria = Criteria.where("machines").elemMatch(Criteria.where("clientMachineId").regex(id, "i"));
...I get the following error:
org.springframework.data.mapping.model.MappingException: No mapping metadata found for class com.mongodb.BasicDBObject
You can't query by fields in subentities linked with DBRef. If ClientMachineEntity would be embedded in ClientMachine - then you could use dot notation or $elemMatch depending on needs.
In your particular example - couldn't field ClientMachineEntity.clientMachineId be saved as _id and used as a primary key? Then you could get the results you need - take a look at: How to query mongodb with DBRef
My suggestion for development with Spring Data MongoDB is - first learn how to (and if it's possible) do it in plain Javascript with MongoDB console, then learn how to do the same with Spring Data MongoDB.
I am pretty new to mongodb. I am using spring-data-mongodb for my queries from java. Please guide me if this is achievable.
Say I have two objects "Car" and "User" as following, where car has list of users,
Class Car {
#Id
String id;
String model;
#DBRef
List<User> users;
#DBRef
Company company;
}
Class User {
#Id
String id;
String name;
}
I want to find all cars for a user, (find all cars where car.users has given user)
Is it possible to achieve using spring-data-mongodb?
It's pretty easy if there was only one DBRef element, eg, for company I can write a query like this,
new Query(Criteria.where("company.$id").is(new ObjectId(companyId)))
But, how to achieve this if there is a list of elements referenced as DBRef??
Thanks for help.
Querying for one element on an array is exactly like query for a field equality. You could read the MongoDB documentation here. So your query will be:
new Query(Criteria.where("users.$id").is(new ObjectId(userId)))
in repository interface type this query on the method:
#Query("{'company' :{'$ref' : 'company' , '$id' : ?0}}")
Company find(String companyId);
I have a class hierarchy designed for store user notifications:
#Document
public class Notification<T> {
#Id
private String id;
#DBRef
private T tag;
...
}
#Document
public class NotificationA extends Notification<WrappedA> {
}
#Document
public class NotificationB extends Notification<WrappedB> {
}
...
This is useful for returning polymorphic arrays, allowing me to store any kind of data in the "tag" field. The problem starts when the wrapped objects contains #DBRef fields:
#Document
public class WrappedA {
#Id
private String id;
#DBRef
private JetAnotherClass referenced;
...
}
Queries on the fields of "tag" works fine:
db.NotificationA.find( {"tag.$id": ObjectId("507b9902...32a")} )
But I need to query on the fields of JetAnotherClass (two levels of #DBRef fields). I've tried with dot notation and also with subobjects but it returns null:
Dot notation:
db.NotificationA.findOne( {"tag.$referenced.$id": ObjectId("508a7701...29f")} )
Subobjects:
db.NotificationA.findOne( {"tag.$referenced": { "_id": ObjectId("508a7701...29f") }} )
Any help?
Thanks in advance!
Since you look like you are only querying by _id I believe you can do:
db.NotificationA.findOne({"tag.$id": ObjectId("blah")});
However:
But I need to query on the fields of JetAnotherClass (two levels of #DBRef fields).
DBRefs are not JOINs, they are merely a self describing _id in the event that you do not know the linking collection it will create a helper object so you don't have to code this yourself on the client side.
You can find more on DBRefs here: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/applications/database-references/
Basically you can query the sub fields within the DBRef from the same document, i.e.: DBRef.$_id but you cannot, server-side, resolve that DBRef and query on the resulting fields.
