I am new to Hibernate search and I am trying to use in my current project. I have three persistent classes which are mapped with each other and two of them are using the composit keys. The relationship as following:

a) An article can have multiple version. Article has an unique id, article ID (integer) and a collection of version object
b) many versions are mapped to a single article. The primary key is a composte key of a version id and article id. Version has an Embeddable key which has version id (integer) and article as memeber.
c) a version can have multiple contents in different language. So again contnet has a composite key of article version and language object.
d) content has a title field and a body field, which should allow full text search.

So wen i do a full text search, I should get a list of contents but, I do not find a suitable eaxample of implementing a twowayfieldbridge where the PK class has an object inside it.
Can someone kindly help me to understand what are my options here.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

I am pasting those three persistent classes below :




Article Class:
@Entity
@Table(name = "article")
public class Article {

private Integer id;
private Timestamp updatedON;
private Timestamp startsON;
private Timestamp expiresON;
private Timestamp publishedDate;
private Collection<Version> versions;

/**
* @return the id
*/
@Id
@Column(name = "id")
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@BusinessKey
public Integer getId() {
return id;
}

/**
* @param id the id to set
*/
public void setId(Integer id) {
this.id = id;
}

@OneToMany(mappedBy="id.article", fetch=FetchType.EAGER,cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
public Collection<version> getVersions() {
return versions;
}

public void setVersions(Collection<version> versions) {
this.versions = versions;
}
}

version Class


@Entity
@Table(name = "version")
public class Version {

private VersionPK id;
private Collection<Content> contents;
private String createdBy;
private String expiredBy;

/**
* @return the id
*/
@Id
public VersionPK getId() {
return id;
}

/**
* @param id the id to set
*/
public void setId(VersionPK id) {
this.id = id;
}

/**
* @return the articleVersionInfoPK
*/


@Embeddable
public static final class VersionPK {

/**

*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

private Integer versionID;
private Article article;

public VersionPK () {

}

@Column(name = "versionID")
@BusinessKey
public Integer getVersionID() {
return versionID;
}

public void setVersionID(Integer versionID) {
this.versionID = versionID;
}

/**
* @return the article
*/
@ManyToOne(cascade=CascadeType.ALL,fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name = "articleID", referencedColumnName = "articleID")
public Article getArticle() {
return article;
}

/**
* @param articleMetaData
* the articleMetaData to set
*/
public void setArticle(Article article) {
this.article= article;
}

}


/**
* @return the contents
*/
@OneToMany(mappedBy = "id.version")
public Collection<Content> getContents() {
return contents;
}

/**
* @param contents
* the contents to set
*/

public void setContents(Collection<Content> contents) {
this.contents = contents;
}

}
Content class:

@Entity
@Table(name = "content")
public class Content {


private ContentPK id;
private String articleTitle;
private String articleLongTitle;
private String contentBody;

/**
* @return the id
*/
@Id
public ContentPK getId() {
return id;
}


/**
* @param id the id to set
*/
public void setId(ContentPK id) {
this.id = id;
}


/**
* @return the articleTitle
*/
@Column(name="title")
public String getArticleTitle() {
return articleTitle;
}


/**
* @param articleTitle the articleTitle to set
*/
public void setArticleTitle(String articleTitle) {
this.articleTitle = articleTitle;
}


/**
* @return the articleLongTitle
*/
@Column(name="articleTitleLong")
public String getArticleLongTitle() {
return articleLongTitle;
}


/**
* @param articleLongTitle the articleLongTitle to set
*/
public void setArticleLongTitle(String articleLongTitle) {
this.articleLongTitle = articleLongTitle;
}


@Embeddable
public static final class ArticleContentPK extends BaseObject {

/**
* Serial version.
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

private Version version;
private Language language;

public ContentPK() {
super();
}

/**
* @return the articleVersion
*/
@ManyToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumns( {
@JoinColumn(name = "articleID", referencedColumnName = "articleID", unique = true),
@JoinColumn(name = "verersionID", referencedColumnName = "verersionID", unique = true) })
@BusinessKey
public version getVersion() {
return version;
}

/**
* @param articleVersion
* the articleVersion to set
*/
public void setVersion(Version version) {
this.version= version;
}

}




/**
* @return the contentBody
*/
@Lob
@Column(name="article_Body")
public String getContentBody() {
return contentBody;
}


/**
* @param contentBody the contentBody to set
*/
public void setContentBody(String contentBody) {
this.contentBody = contentBody;
}


}


Thanking you in advance.

Hello,
there's an example in the tests sources, you can download the sources or see it on fisheye:
PersonPKBridge
PersonPK
Person

Remember your primary keys must have an equals implementation, you basically need to create a new instance of the PK type and set the parts of it by parsing the string(s) from the Document in such a way that you'll be able to load the full entity from the primary key.

Note that the example is encoding the id in a single field, and also using two fields to store both firstName and lastName separately.
