Java Mongodb Save image in Mongodb Example

Java mongodb driver provides the api to store large files in to Mongo db through java. Below are the important class which helps to do the large files operation in mongodb

GridFS
GridFS is a specification for storing large files in MongoDB

GridFSDBFile
This class enables to retrieve a GridFS file metadata and content.

GridFSInputFile
This class enables to get image file from local drive.

Example

import java.io.File;
import com.mongodb.DB;
import com.mongodb.DBCollection;
import com.mongodb.DBCursor;
import com.mongodb.Mongo;
import com.mongodb.gridfs.GridFS;
import com.mongodb.gridfs.GridFSDBFile;
import com.mongodb.gridfs.GridFSInputFile;

public class SaveImage {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {

        Mongo mongo = new Mongo("localhost", 27017);
        DB db = mongo.getDB("imagedb");
        DBCollection collection = db.getCollection("dummyColl");
        String newFileName = "myfile";
        File imageFile = new File("java.jpg");

        // create a "photo" namespace

        GridFS gfsPhoto = new GridFS(db, "photo");

        // get image file from local drive

        GridFSInputFile gfsFile = gfsPhoto.createFile(imageFile);

        // set a new filename for identify purpose

        gfsFile.setFilename(newFileName);

        // save the image file into mongoDB

        gfsFile.save();

        // print the result

        DBCursor cursor = gfsPhoto.getFileList();

        while (cursor.hasNext()) {
        System.out.println(cursor.next());
        }

        // get image file by it's filename
        GridFSDBFile imageForOutput = gfsPhoto.findOne(newFileName);
        // save it into a new image file
        imageForOutput.writeTo("java1.jpg");
        // remove the image file from mongoDB
        gfsPhoto.remove(gfsPhoto.findOne(newFileName));
        System.out.println("Done");

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();

    }
    }

}
