How to add an array to a MongoDB document using Java?

Question

I want to create the following document schema in mongoDB using the java driver

{
  \"_id\": {
    \"$oid\": \"513e9820c5d0d8b93228d7e8\"
  },
  \"suitename\         


        

Answer 1

Change to something like this:

testObject.put("suitename", testsuite);
testObject.put("testname", testcase);         
List<BasicDBObject> milestones = new ArrayList<>();
milestones.add(new BasicDBObject("milestone_id", "2333"));
testObject.put("milestones", milestones);
locations.insert(testObject);

Answer 2

Better use:

MongoClient client = new MongoClient("localhost",27017);

MongoCollection<Document> collection =        client.getDatabase("db").getCollection("collection");

List<Document> docs=new ArrayList<>();
docs.add();

collection.insertMany(docs);

client.close();

Answer 3

You can create an ArrayList which takes in DBObjects.

List<DBObject> array = new ArrayList<DBObject>();

Add the created DBObject for the object inside the array and add it to the array object created.

array.add(/* some object */);

Finally, put the array in the main document object.

document.put("milestones", array);

Answer 4

Little extending to previous answer

    BasicDBObject testObject = new BasicDBObject();
    testObject.put("type", "milestones");
    testObject.put("usecase", "milestone_type");

    List<BasicDBObject> testplans = new ArrayList<>();
    testplans.add(new BasicDBObject("plan_id","3232"));
    testplans.add(new BasicDBObject("plan_day","sunday"));


    BasicDBObject milestoneObject = new BasicDBObject();
    milestoneObject.put("milestone_id", "3232");
    milestoneObject.put("plans", testplans);


    List<BasicDBObject> milestones = new ArrayList<>();
    milestones.add( milestoneObject);
    testObject.put("milestones", milestones);


    locations.insert(testObject);
