MongoDB Limiting Fields Returned With Java API

Use the "public DBCursor find(DBObject ref, DBObject keys)" in the DBCollection class:

• For the "keys", add a key value pair like the following to include a field e.g. "name":
• key: name
• value: 1
• _id is always included by default
• But if _id is all you want, you should include it in keys, otherwise with an empty "keys" object all fields will be returned
