Lists of DBObjects - Mongo Java Driver

Question

I am making a game where there are kits in different multiplayer servers. Players can purchase kits, where it saves it to a Mongo database. I would like the database to be formatted like so:

{
    "server": "the_server_name",
    "players": {
        {
            "player": "the_players_username",
            "kits": [
                "kit1",
                "kit3"
            ]
        },
        {
            "player": "the_players_username",
            "kits": [
                "kit1",
                "kit2"
            ]
        }
    }
}

I have tried doing this with no avail. Would anybody like to offer a beginner some help on how to achieve this? Thanks!

Here is a simple example:

import com.mongodb.*;

public class MongoTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        MongoClient mongoClient = new MongoClient("localhost", 27017);
        DB db = mongoClient.getDB("myGameDB");
        DBCollection gameCollection = db.getCollection("myGameCollection");
        BasicDBObject obj = new BasicDBObject().append("sever", "the_server_name");
        BasicDBList players = new BasicDBList();
        BasicDBList list1 = new BasicDBList();
        BasicDBList list2 = new BasicDBList();
        list1.addAll(java.util.Arrays.asList(new String[]{"kit1", "kit2"}));
        list2.addAll(java.util.Arrays.asList(new String[]{"kit1", "kit2"}));
        BasicDBObject playerObj1 = new BasicDBObject("player", "the_players_username").append("kits", list1);
        BasicDBObject playerObj2 = new BasicDBObject("player", "the_players_username").append("kits", list2);
        players.add(playerObj1);
        players.add(playerObj2);
        obj.append("players", players);
        gameCollection.insert(obj);
        printCollectionContent(gameCollection);
    }


    static void printCollectionContent(DBCollection coll) {
        BasicDBObject query = new BasicDBObject();
        BasicDBObject fields = new BasicDBObject("server", true).append("_id", false).append("players",true);
        DBCursor curs = coll.find(query);
        while (curs.hasNext()) {
            DBObject o = curs.next();
            System.out.println(o.toString());
        }
        curs = coll.find(query, fields);
        while (curs.hasNext()) {
            DBObject o = curs.next();
            System.out.println(o.toString());
        }
    }
}

BTW, your json is actually not valid. Players seems to be an array but it is missing a [ ]

This example uses the driver version of 2.11.3. The example is to show you how to use the driver, the exception handling is omitted.
