Hi,

I have a User entity containing a List of Roles. I'm Indexing the User and have a @IndexedEmbedded on the List<Role> attribute, and a @Field on the Role.name. In the generated User index I have multiple role.name fields for each role the user has.

I'd like to be able to perform a Projection search on the index which returns the role name values held in the index. Is this possible? I could just return the entities themselves, but I'd really prefer to return a Projection.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Cheers,

Anton

Hi Anton,

As far as I know the type of projection you are after is currently not possible. At the moment the value of the first added field will be returned. I am not sure right now whether it would be possible at all. Maybe you should open a Jira issue for this?

What do you want to return exactly? The first role, all the roles and how?

I guess he wants to return all roles. I am in a similiar situation an need to get all elements of a Set return via projection.

Is there any new development on having such a feature? Or is there some code example someone could provide to achieve such a thing?

Regards,
Martin
