using findAndModify in mongodb using grails gorm - mongodb

Question

I need to use findAndModify in my application with grails and mongoDB.
I used this code :
public static String getNextId(DB db, String seq_name) {
String sequence_collection = "seq"; // the name of the sequence collection
String sequence_field = "seq"; // the name of the field which holds the sequence
DBCollection seq = db.getCollection(sequence_collection); // get the collection (this will create it if needed)
// this object represents your "query", its analogous to a WHERE clause in SQL
DBObject query = new BasicDBObject();
query.put("_id", seq_name); // where _id = the input sequence name
// this object represents the "update" or the SET blah=blah in SQL
DBObject change = new BasicDBObject(sequence_field, 1);
DBObject update = new BasicDBObject("$inc", change); // the $inc here is a mongodb command for increment
// Atomically updates the sequence field and returns the value for you
DBObject res = seq.findAndModify(query, new BasicDBObject(), new BasicDBObject(), false, update, true, true);
return res.get(sequence_field).toString();
}
and it work successful. But now I want use findAndModify without native mongodb object, and with using GORM.
Is there any solution for this work?

Answer 1

There is not way to accomplish this without native API, you can however write your code a bit more compact like this:
def collection = Seq.collection
collection.findAndModify([_id: seq_name ], [ "\$inc": [seq:1] ])

Config your DataSource.groovy with db configurations.
Then define a Domain class:
Class Seq{
int seq
}
And use dynamic finder in a sevice:
Class SeqService {
String findAndModify(String seq_name) {
def seqInstance = Seq.get(seq_name)
if(seqInstance){
seqInstance.seq ++
seqInstance.save()
return seqInstance.seq.toString()
}
return '' //instance not found
}
}
Then make a call when you need that action:
def seqService
def id
.......
def result = seqService.findAndModify(id)
....
