MongoDb's $set equivalent in its java Driver
BasicDBObject carrier = new BasicDBObject();
BasicDBObject query = new BasicDBObject();
query.put("YOUR_QUERY_STRING", YOUR_QUERY_VALUE);
BasicDBObject set = new BasicDBObject("$set", carrier);
carrier.put("a", 6);
carrier.put("b", "wx1");
myColl.updateMany(query, set);
This should work, the answer which is accepted is not right above.
Try something like this:
BasicDBObject set = new BasicDBObject("$set", new BasicDBObject("age", 10));
set.append("$set", new BasicDBObject("name", "Some Name"));
someCollection.update(someSearchQuery, set);
Also look at this example.
