MongoDB Spring Data Criteria Not operator

Question

I have following code to search in mongo db using spring data mongodb ( version 1.2.3.RELEASE)

Criteria searchCriteria = Criteria.where("NAME").is("TestName")
        .and("ID").is("TestID").not().and("Age").is("23");

I got following query ( without not operator )

Query: { "NAME" : "TestName" , "ID" : "TestID", "Age" : "23" }

I was expecting following query

Query: { "NAME" : "TestName" , "$not" : { "ID" : "TestID"}, "Age" : "23" }

What am i doing wrong ? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

According to the documentation the not() is affecting the clause directly following. That is the .and("Age").is("23"). But you probably have to put it before the is.

Criteria searchCriteria = Criteria.where("NAME").is("TestName").and("ID").not().is("TestID").and("Age").is("23");

If this is not working, try using the andOperator and the not().where("ID") construct.

Answer 2

If you have multiple items then you can use below query for mongo andOperator(Criteria.where(name).nin(ids))
