Spring Data MongoDB Date Between

Question

I use spring data mongodb.

I want the records between two dates. The following MongoDB Query works:

db.posts.find({startDate: {$gte: start, $lt: end}         


        

Answer 1

Do not include the 'and("startDate")' part in your criteria.

Instead of :

query.addCriteria(Criteria.where("startDate").gte(startDate).and("startDate").lt(endDate));

You should use:

query.addCriteria(Criteria.where("startDate").gte(startDate).lt(endDate));

When you include the 'and("startDate")' part, Mongo see's it as two different entries on the same property.
