I am using Annotiations and the LuceneEventListener to automatically build a search index as new objects are inserted.

Sometimes, the lucene index will have to be rebuilt.

So...
1. I recreate the index-dir with the Lucene IndexWriter (deletes existing index)

2. I iterate through the annotated domain objects

3. During the iteration, I *want* to fire the event listener as configured for the event-type: "post-commit-insert"
Is there a way to force this event to be fired, though I am not really performing an insert operation?

Thanks,
Stan

Hi,
http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/hibernate/branches/Lucene_Integration/

has a prototype on future hibernate / lucene integration. I can't remember if I did integrate the feature you want, I think so. Feedback welcome

Thanks... but I couldn't find the prototype in the repostitory (referred to by the hyperlink you gave me).

Anyway, I have a temporary workaround -- added a document-update-count fileld to my ejb/table . I recreate the index and increment this column value in every relevant domain instance-- forcing an update event on the LuceneIndexListener. This rebuilds the entire index.

Is is a hack, but it works until the Annotations framework will work with Hibernate RC4 (with all the new work done on the lucene integration). I'm sure I"ll find a better solution at that time.

By the way... any ETA (he asks very, very nicely) on when the Annotations and EntityManager frwks will be able to work with Hibernate RC3/RC4?

Thanks again..
Stan
