How to insert Nested Documents using BasicDBObject 

MongoDB is a scalable, high-performance, open source NoSQL database. It offers Ad hoc queries, Indexing, Replication, Load balancing, File storage (GridFS), Aggregation, MapReduce and Server-side JavaScript execution. This requires the library mongo-2.8.0.jar to be present in the classpath. The following example shows how to insert a nested document in Mongo database.

package com.bethecoder.tutorials.mongodb.tests;

import java.net.UnknownHostException;

import com.mongodb.BasicDBObject;
import com.mongodb.DB;
import com.mongodb.DBCollection;
import com.mongodb.DBCursor;
import com.mongodb.DBObject;
import com.mongodb.Mongo;
import com.mongodb.MongoException;

public class NestedDocInsertionTest {

  /**
   @param args
   */
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      //Connect to mongoDB with given IP and PORT
      Mongo mongo = new Mongo("localhost"27017);
      
      //Get the database object
      DB database = mongo.getDB("mytestdb");
      
      //Gets a collection with a given name.
        //If the collection does not exist, a new collection is created.
      DBCollection collection = database.getCollection("studentdetails");
      
      //Create and insert document to collection
      DBObject document = new BasicDBObject();
      document.put("name""Sriram");
      document.put("age"2);
      
      DBObject address = new BasicDBObject();
      address.put("DoorNo""1-2-3-4");
      address.put("City""Bangalore");
      
      document.put("address", address);
      
      //Saves a document to the database
      collection.insert(document);
      
      //Queries for all objects in this collection
      DBCursor dbCursor = collection.find();
      DBObject record = null;
      
      while (dbCursor.hasNext()) {
        record = dbCursor.next();
        System.out.println(record);
      }
      
    catch (UnknownHostException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    catch (MongoException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

}
   

It gives the following output,
{ "_id" : { "$oid" : "503cc48842e2f2cc44929fc9"} , 
	"name" : "Sriram" , "age" : 2 , 
	"address" : { "DoorNo" : "1-2-3-4" , "City" : "Bangalore"}}
