Mongo db java unwind operation in aggregate query

Question

When working with embedded mongo document I am trying to unwind the array but I am getting exception like org.springframework.data.mapping.model.MappingInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate java.util.List using constructor NO_CONSTRUCTOR with arguments. The query what I wrote is,

Aggregation agg = newAggregation(
        unwind("recipients"),
 match(Criteria.where("recipients.userId").is("800").andOperator(Criteria.where("recipients.status").is(false)
                )));
  Logs.java
 private String id;
private String userId;
private String conversationId;
 private Date createdDate;
private List<Recipients> recipients;

Recipients.java

 private String userId;
 private boolean status;

Data set

{
"_id" : ObjectId("579099e6000fda45000c0054"),
"userId" : "800",
"conversationId" : "57907e5f000fda45000c004b",

        },
        {

Answer 1

If the result of your aggregation is a list of Logs objects like this

AggregationResults<Logs> results = mongoOps.aggregate(agg, "logs", Logs.class);

then cardinality of recipients is incorrect. It must to be just a Recipients as opposed to List because after unwinding the recipients field holds a single document.

Logs.java
  private String id;
  private String userId;
  private String conversationId;
  private Date createdDate;
  private Recipients recipients; <--
