How to create query with ObjectIds using java?

I have set of ids like: 

["51eae104c2e6b6c222ec3432", "51eae104c2e6b6c222ec3432", "51eae104c2e6b6c222ec3432"]

I need to find all documents using this set of ids.

    BasicDBObject query = new BasicDBObject(); 
    BasicDBList list = new BasicDBList();
    ObjectId ob1 = new ObjectId("51eae100c2e6b6c222ec3431");
    ObjectId ob2 = new ObjectId("51eae100c2e6b6c222ec3432");
    list.add(ob1);
    list.add(ob2);
    query.append("_id", new BasicDBObject("$in", list));

This query can't find anything because it is same as 

{ "_id" : { "$in" : [ { "$oid" : "51eae100c2e6b6c222ec3431"} , { "$oid" : "51eae100c2e6b6c222ec3432"}]}}

To find something it must be

{_id:{$in:[ObjectId("51eae100c2e6b6c222ec3431") , ObjectId("51eae104c2e6b6c222ec3432")]}}

but I don't know how to make ObjectId("51eae100c2e6b6c222ec3431") in list using java

{ "$oid" : "51eae100c2e6b6c222ec3431"} is the same as ObjectId("51eae100c2e6b6c222ec3431") just in a different format.

See this page for the different formats: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/mongodb-extended-json/

If the query is not finding any documents (and you are sure they are present in the collection) then there is some other issue. I would double check the server(s) you are connecting to and the name of the database and collection first.
