MongoDB Java API ISODate

Question

I want to insert a DateTime into MongoDB from Java. Essentially I want the following object:

    {
        "_id" : ".....",
        "ts": ISODate(".....")
    }

How can I create this from a Java Object with MongoDB API?

Answer 1

You can do it as follows :

DBCollection coll = ...
coll.insert(new BasicDBObject("ts", new Date()));
