var mongoClient = mongodb.getClient();

var collection = mongoClient.getDB("db").getCollection("people");

var person = mongodb.createBasicDBObject()
    .append("_id", "jo")
    .append("name", "Jo Bloggs");
// or directly create an Object:
// var person = {"_id": "jo", "name": "Jo Bloggs"};
collection.insert(person);

var query = mongodb.createBasicDBObject().append("_id", "jo");
var cursor = collection.find(query);
var result = cursor.one();

response.println("Result: " + result._id);
response.flush();
response.close();
