How to count items in nested array of mongo document using spring data?

Question

I have to count the number of properties my Product has. I am using following document structure:

{
    "_id": ObjectId("0000000000000000000002"),
    "name" : "Test",
    "properties" : [

        ObjectId("0000000000000000000003"),
        ObjectId("0000000000000000000004")

          ]
}

How to do it?

Update:

My try:

...
@Autowired
    private MongoOperations mongoOperations;
...
mongoOperations.aggregate(
                new BasicQuery("{$match: {\"_id\" : " + new ObjectId(productId) + "}}," +
                        "{$unwind: \"$properties\"}," +
                        "{$project: {count:{$add:1}}}," +
                        "{$group: {_id: null, number: {$sum: \"$count\" }}} "),
                        Product.class);

I am getting error from IDE:

aggregate in MaongoOperations cannot be applied to or.springframework.data.mongodb.core.query.BasicQuery

How to fix it? Is it the easiest way to count properties using Sparing data?

If you are using MongoDB version 2.6 or later, you can make user of the $size aggregation operator to get the array size:

db.products.aggregate(
   [
      {
         $project: {
            name: 1,
            numberOfProperties: { $size: "$properties" }
         }
      }
   ]
)

Can you provide working Java code sample making use of Spring data?

What version of MongoDB are you using? I can provide Java code sample, but I haven't used Spring Data yet.
