Suppose collection is having 3 documents. For example:
{"document" : "001", "requestType" : "A", "valid" : "true"},
{"document" : "002", "requestType" : "A", "valid" : "false"},
{"document" : "003", "requestType" : "B"}
Each document has 2 attribute "requestType","document" mandatory. "valid" attribute is optional
What I want to achieve:
write criteria for a query that will check:
1-> what is the requestType of an document
if the requestType is "A" I need to check valid attribute is true.
else fetch the other "requestType" documents as well.
Final result in the response should be:
{"document" : "001", "requestType" : "A", "valid" : "true"},
{"document" : "003", "requestType" : "B"}
What I tried:
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
//others criteria are there as well thats why used orOperator
criteria.orOperator(
Criteria.where("requestType").is("A"),
Criteria.where("valid").is(true)
);
final Query query = new Query();
query.addCriteria(criteria);
It is providing response as: {"document" : "001", "requestType" : "A", "valid" : "true"},
But I needed {"document" : "003", "requestType" : "B"} in the response as well
It looks like the query you are running needs a little update, currently the query makes {$or:[{ requestType:A}, {valid:true}]}
but it should be: {$or:[$and:[{ requestType:A}, {valid:true}],"valid":{$ne:"A"}]}
criteria.orOperator(
Criteria.where("requestType").is("A").andOperator(Criteria.where("valid").is(true)),
Criteria.where("requestType").ne("A")
);
