In the previous recipe, we saw how to execute the find
and insert
operations in MongoDB using a Java client. In this recipe, we will see how the update
and delete
operations work from a Java client.
For this recipe, we will start a standalone instance. Refer to the Single node installation of MongoDB recipe in Chapter 1, Installing and Starting the MongoDB Server, to learn how to start the server.
The next step is to download the Java project mongo-cookbook-javadriver
from the book's website. This recipe uses a JUnit test case to test out various features of the Java client. In this whole process, we will make use of some of the most common API calls and, thus, learn how to use them.
