Hibernate version:
3.2.6 GA
Mapping documents:

I have a class "foo" that is indexed using pure lucene indexing because is a third party jar file.

Than i have class bar that has foo as a many-to-one foreign key. How do i indexed

@Indexed (index="Bar")
class Bar
{
@DocumentId
Integer id;

private Foo foo;
}

What do i do for foo?

I am using 3.0.0

I am not quite sure what you mean with that? Did you write your own indexing framework? Can you maybe elaborate what you mean?


Normally you would index Foo as @IndexedEmbedded, but this implies that you also annotate the indexable fields in Foo. However, you say Foo is part of an external library? How does this work really? How is Foo mapped on an entity level if you don't have control over it?

Maybe you could write a own wrapper class for Foo which you then can annotate?

1.) What i mean is foo is already indexed using combination of keyword analyzer and index writer and export it as service in jar file. The index generation of foo will be made by periodic batch.
2.) Hmm create a wrapper class, isn't that code duplication? Its something i want to avoid.

Hi,

do you not have some code duplication anyway? Or if not code duplication you still have to manage two different ways of indexing and searching. Once via the service and once with Hibernate Search. That might be be necessary for your use case, but with a thin wrapper you could maybe just switch to Hibernate Search and handle all indexing and searching with it? Or maybe the other way around? Can the provided service be extended to not only index Foo?
