I am in a situation where I have to store data belonging to multiple entities in a single collection. But when I query then back, I dont want unwanted records in my result. How can we achieve this using spring? Below is what I have done so far.
1. I give same collection name in entity as shown below.
@Document(collection = "livingThings")
@Data
public class AnimalEntity {
//contains id, type, bla, bla
}
@Document(collection = "livingThings")
@Data
public class HumanEntity {
//contains id, gender, address
}
2. I create independent mongoRepository interfaces
public interface AnimalRepository implements MongoRepository<AnimalEntity, String> {
}
public interface HumanRepository implements MongoRepository<HumanEntity, String> {
}
3. And the problem is
when I do animalRepo.findAll or humanRepo.findAll, I get all records available in the collection.
4. What I expect
animalRepo.findAll returns only those records where document structure is same as AnimalEntity.
Thank you very much for your time and patience to attend this query.
