Greeting, All, I need some help please.

In my hibernate application, I dont use annotation at all. This is my first time to use hibernate search.

Question 1： Is it possible use hibernate search without annotaion? Just like old way, set everything on xxx.hbm.xml

Question 2: For hibernate search, do I have to use JPA？ Can I use it in my old hibernate application.

Question 3: The follows is my Student object mapping:

<class name="Student" table="course" batch-size="30" dynamic-insert="true" dynamic-update="true" >
<composite-id unsaved-value="none">
<key-property name="studentName" column="student_name" />
<key-property name="className" column="class_name" />
</composite-id>

As you seen, I do not create a composite key class.. In this case, how can I use @DocumentId to a composite ID？

Question 4: If a student has unidirectional relation with teacher, Can I still able to update index at same time.


Thanks
Ian

anybody?

Hi,

you can't set the Search annotations in hbm.xml, but you can use entities mapped in hbm.xml and add only the annotations needed for Search.


Works both with JPA and Hibernate; JPA wraps the Hibernate implementation, so there are no implementation differences.


not sure about this one, I think you need the composite key class.


it depends on the direction of the relation; it's possible you need to change it to a bidirectional. check the reference docs, section 4.1.3
