Hello
I've defined my own analyzer. It needs to use synonyms. I've put synonyms in database table, because they need to be editable by users.
Now I don't know how to read synonyms from database in analyzer.
I have defined Seam component with local interface.
I use Seam, but Seam starts much later than analyzers are initialized so I can't use @In. @EJB annotation also doesn't work.
I've tried looking up in JNDI but also no luck.

Maybe there is a way to get EntityManager in analyzer?
How should it be done?

Hi,

I am not a Seam expert, but have you tried to instantiate/use an EntityController (http://docs.jboss.com/seam/2.0.1.GA/api/org/jboss/seam/framework/EntityController.html)?

Or maybe you can delegate the actual db access in the analyzer to a different class in which you can use seam type injection?

As said - these are just guesses. I am sure someone more familiar with Seam could help you better.

Seam stuff starts much later, so I can't use it. I'd rather think about Hibernate alone, because from logs it seems it starts just before Hibernate Search.
As a workaround I did everything via JDBC (it's much faster too).

No Hibernate starts at the same time as Search. But you can do a lazy analyzer that go read the information when it needs it. In this case everything would be initialized.

how to do "lazy" analyzer?

"lazy" means it is not going to fetch the needed information wen created, but when first used.
