java.lang.ClassCastException: com.mongodb.FindIterableImpl cannot be cast to org.bson.Document

Question

I have following code

public class UserDAO {
    private final MongoCollection<Document> usersCollection;
    private Random random = new SecureRandom();

    public UserDAO(final MongoDatabase blogDatabase) {
        usersCollection = blogDatabase.getCollection("users");
    }

    public boolean addUser(String username, String password, String email) {

        String passwordHash = makePasswordHash(password, Integer.toString(random.nextInt()));    

        Document doc = new Document("_id", username).append("password", passwordHash);

        if (email != null && !email.equals("")) {

            doc = new Document("_id", username)
            .append("password", passwordHash)
            .append("email", email);
        }

        try {

            usersCollection.insertOne(doc);             
             return true;
        } catch (MongoWriteException e) {
            if (e.getError().getCategory().equals(ErrorCategory.DUPLICATE_KEY)) {
                System.out.println("Username already in use: " + username);
                return false;
            }
            throw e;
        }
    }

    public Document validateLogin(String username, String password) {
        Document user = null;   

        user = (Document) usersCollection.find(new BasicDBObject("_id", username));// at this line I'm getting error
        if (user == null) {
            System.out.println("User not in database");
            return null;
        }

        String hashedAndSalted = user.get("password").toString();

        String salt = hashedAndSalted.split(",")[1];

        if (!hashedAndSalted.equals(makePasswordHash(password, salt))) {
            System.out.println("Submitted password is not a match");
            return null;
        }

        return user;
    }    

}

I want to get one document/record but I'm getting error

are there any mistakes in my code, any solutions.

at line user = (Document) usersCollection.find(new BasicDBObject("_id", username)); in code given above! — Arshad Ali

You can do this also:

Document user = null;
user = usersCollection.find(eq("_id", username)).first();

use Filter.eq() to compare the equality of the username, If you have used import static com.mongodb.client.model.Filters.eq; then only use eq() method.
And use first() it returns the first Document from the collection.

OK I've found this answer that is make some changes in validateLogin() as

public Document validateLogin(String username, String password) {
        FindIterable<Document> user = null; // Change to get the object of FindIterable<Document>

        user = usersCollection.find(new Document("_id", username) );// give Document as the find() argument
        if (user == null) {
            System.out.println("User not in database");
            return null;
        }

        String hashedAndSalted = user.first().get("password").toString();// get user.first()

        String salt = hashedAndSalted.split(",")[1];

        if (!hashedAndSalted.equals(makePasswordHash(password, salt))) {
            System.out.println("Submitted password is not a match");
            return null;
        }

        return user.first();//get user.first()
    }

hence the issue is resolved.

by just adding first() to your search query will save you all the trouble.

    Bson filter = new Document("_id",username);
    Document user = coll.find().filter(filter).first();
