Answer 1

For me this solutions works like a charm( using spring-data-mongodb 1.3.1.RELEASE ), I just had the same problem atm and solved it like this(just a short snippet from my code at work):

@Query(value = "{'productDetails.productType': {$regex: ?0, $options: 'i'}, 'sourceDescriptor': ?1}", count = true)
public Long countFetchedDocumentsForCategory(String cat, String sourceDescriptor);
