How to update value of specific embedded document, inside an array, of a specific document in MongoDB?
Here is RameshVel’s solution translated to java: DB db = conn.getDB( “yourDB” ); DBCollection coll = db.getCollection( “yourCollection” ); ObjectId _id = new ObjectId(“4e71b07ff391f2b283be2f95”); ObjectId arrayId = new ObjectId(“4e639a918dca838d4575979c”); BasicDBObject query = new BasicDBObject(); query.put(“_id”, _id); query.put(“array._arrayId”, arrayId); BasicDBObject data = new BasicDBObject(); data.put(“array.$.someField”, “updated”); BasicDBObject command = new BasicDBObject(); command.put(“$set”, data); coll.update(query, command);
