This may be a strange question but is it possible to map multiple entities to a single document. For example Entity A and Entity B maps to a Combined Entity lucene document?

Hi Amin!
that's exactly what @IndexedEmbedded does.. having a different use case?

Hi Sanne

If I remember correctly @IndexEmbedded is when Entity A has a relationship with Entity B. My usecase is where Entity A and Entity B have a relationship via a common business key. What I am interested is getting the business key and passing it to another service.

I have a Category object and a TypeOfQuery object both are indexed in separate documents. They may have the same business key. I want to execute a boolean query where category and type of query must both exist. At present it's not possibel to do this because a single document does not contain both category and type of query.

Thanks
Amin

It seems to me you're actually modelling a relation, so why don't you have a relation between the entities?

I might not have understood the example, in this case please send me a code example.

as a workaround, you can use another @Indexed pojo containing links to both of your objects - it does't need to be a persistent entity.
In alternative, would a custom ClassBridge not work for you?

Hi Sanne

We have some legacy entity model which I don't want to touch at this stage. We've got a work around. What is great is that I've managed to get free text search into project using HSearch without any major effort and it works like a beauty. I do enjoy using HSearch.

that's great to hear. what was your workaround?
