Starting with Document

This guide will explain how to use a document database with JNoSQL. A document-oriented database, or document store, is a computer program designed for storing, retrieving, and managing document-oriented information, also known as semi-structured data. Document-oriented databases are one of the main categories of NoSQL databases, and the popularity of the term "document-oriented database" has grown with the use of the term NoSQL itself. XML databases are a subclass of document-oriented databases that are optimized to work with XML documents. Graph databases are similar, but add another layer, the relationship, which allows them to link documents for rapid traversal.

In a maven project, the first step is to add the dependencies. Where we'll add the Mapper dependency, think JPA to Document NoSQL, and then a communication dependency, think JDBC to Document NoSQL.

1 Add the Eclipse JNoSQL Artemis dependency;

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.eclipse.jnosql.artemis</groupId>
   <artifactId>artemis-document</artifactId>
   <version>version</version>
</dependency>
  

Check here to take the latest version.

Add a document vendor in the communication dependency, e.g.:

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.eclipse.jnosql.diana</groupId>
   <artifactId>mongodb-driver</artifactId>
   <version>version</version>
</dependency>
  

3 Use annotation to define both the Id and the entity name.

Use annotation to define both the Id and the entity name. Note that here you'll need to also define what values are stored in columns with @Column annotations.

@Entity("Person")
public class Person {

  @Id("id")
  private long id;

  @Column
  private String name;

  @Column
  private List<String> phones;
  //Getters and setters are not required.
  //However, the class must have a non-private constructor with no arguments.
}
  

4 Make an eligible **DocumentCollectionManager using the Producer methods in DocumentCollectionManager.**

@ApplicationScoped
public class DocumentCollectionManagerProducer {

  private static final String COLLECTION = "developers";

  private DocumentConfiguration configuration;

  private DocumentCollectionManagerFactory managerFactory;

  @PostConstruct
  public void init() {
    configuration = new MongoDBDocumentConfiguration();
    Map<String, Object> settings = Collections.singletonMap("mongodb-server-host-1", "localhost:27017");
    managerFactory = configuration.get(Settings.of(settings));
  }


  @Produces
  public DocumentCollectionManager getManager() {
    return managerFactory.get(COLLECTION);

  }

}

  

Tip

Eclipse JNoSQL has tight integration with Eclipse MicroProfile Configuration, therefore, you can use this configuration instead of putting the configuration directly in the code.

5 That's it! Now you're ready to go with CDI and a Key-Value NoSQL database.

public class App {


  public static void main(String[] args) {

    Random random = new Random();
    Long id = random.nextLong();
    try (SeContainer container = SeContainerInitializer.newInstance().initialize()) {

      Person person = Person.builder().
      withPhones(Arrays.asList("234", "432"))
      .withName("Name")
      .withId(id)
      .build();

      DocumentTemplate documentTemplate = container.select(DocumentTemplate.class).get();
      Person saved = documentTemplate.insert(person);
      System.out.println("Person saved" + saved);


      DocumentQuery query = select().from("Person")
      .where(eq(Document.of("_id", id))).build();

      Optional<Person> personOptional = documentTemplate.singleResult(query);
      System.out.println("Entity found: " + personOptional);

    }
  }

  private App() {
  }
}
  

public class PersonService {

  @Inject
  private DocumentTemplate template;


  public Person insert(Person person) {
    return template.insert(person);
  }

  public Optional<Person> find(Long id) {
    DocumentQuery query = select().from("Person").where("id").eq(id).build();
    return template.singleResult(query);
  }
}
  

6 Create your own repository.

public interface PersonRepository extends Repository<Person, Long> {

  List<Person> findByName(String name);

  Stream<Person> findByPhones(String phone);
}

Don't worry about the implementation, Eclipse JNoSQL will handle that for you.

public class App2 {


  public static void main(String[] args) {

    Random random = new Random();
    Long id = random.nextLong();

    try (SeContainer container = SeContainerInitializer.newInstance().initialize()) {

      Person person = Person.builder().
      withPhones(Arrays.asList("234", "432"))
      .withName("Name")
      .withId(id)
      .build();

      PersonRepository repository = container.select(PersonRepository.class)
      .select(DatabaseQualifier.ofDocument()).get();
      repository.save(person);

      List<Person> people = repository.findByName("Name");
      System.out.println("Entity found: " + people);
      repository.findByPhones("234").forEach(System.out::println);

    }
  }

  private App2() {
  }
}

  

public class PersonService {

  @Inject
  @Database(DatabaseType.DOCUMENT)
  private PersonRepository repository;


  public Person save(Person person) {
    return repository.save(person);
  }

  public Optional<Person> find(Long id) {
    return repository.findById(id);
  }
}
