[Serach] Availablility of 3.2 Release

eiswind70 · **Joined:** Thu Mar 04, 2010 9:30 am **Posts:** 5

Hi, an endless time ago I read that the Index will be configurable by api in 3.2, is there any date when this will become available ? I have to make my release planning and this is a long awaited feature...

Regards Thomas

A beta was released already; you could try the API and see if it's covering your needs?
You better try it now than discover it's missing something you need when it's finalized: even if it's a beta I expect all features to work properly, if not please report.

Can you give me a starting point for the new configuration API ? I'll have a look at it then.

Thanks for the link. Just one freaky question I have ? I Set up my EMF with Spring, and I dont see how the property maps to the searchmapping instance ? I could instantiate the searchmapping with spring but how to link it in ? Is there a way to change the Searchmapping in a running Factory on the fly ? (Otherwise I would need a restart ?)

Hi,
I guess it's easier then to not pass the mapping instance but the mapping-factory class name;
see this test for a quick example: org.hibernate.search.test.configuration.ProgrammaticMappingTest line 707

Code:

cfg.getProperties().put( Environment.MODEL_MAPPING, ProgrammaticSearchMappingFactory.class.getName() );

or translated into a standard configuration property:

Code:

hibernate.search.model_mapping=org.hibernate.search.test.configuration.ProgrammaticSearchMappingFactory

which has the effect to plugin your custom code to define the mapping:

Code:

public class ProgrammaticSearchMappingFactory {
      
   @Factory
   public SearchMapping build() {
      SearchMapping mapping = new SearchMapping();
      mapping.fullTextFilterDef("security", SecurityFilter ...
                            ...

Note the org.hibernate.search.annotations.Factory annotation to define which method should be used to build the programmatic configuration

I just noticed the property key changed from the blogpost, editing the post and fixing docs: use the org.hibernate.search.Environment.MODEL_MAPPING constant to make sure.

Thanks for the useful input ! I guess I can have a lift off with that.

sorry I just realized I was showing you a feature of beta2 which was not released yet.
The programmatic API is available since beta1 but to inject the custom configuration in a simple property file was not available initially.

It should be possible to extend the Spring component starting the EMF, or you can checkout Search's trunk and try that.

How is the configuration passed then ? I thought I could only hand over a String ?
Is there a nightly build I can use or do I have to roll my own ?

sanne.grinovero · **Posted:** Fri Mar 05, 2010 6:28 am

there's no distribution of nightly builds;
this might be useful: https://www.hibernate.org/462.html
as you might need to setup the maven repos of jboss.

You can hand it over a string containing a fully qualified class name, or a class instance, or a SearchMapping instance.
In string-format configuration files you're of course limited to a FQ classname.

Hi,
Hibernate Search 3.2.0.Final containing the programmatic configuration API was released months ago, and a few weeks ago we released 3.2.1.Final too which is the recommended version to be used.

Please follow the http://in.relation.to/ or http://jboss.org feeds for news.
