My Hibernate search version is 3.1
I'm using projection to retrieve fields from an indexed entity and its associated entity marked with IndexedEmbedded annotation. I'm using a bean as the data structure along with AliasToBeanResultTransformer as the result transformer. I need to have setters in the bean for all the fields to be retrieved. However, this is causing a problem in the case of the fields of the associated entity because of the dot in the field name.

For example, the property in my main entity which holds the associated entity is "inventory". One of the fields to be retrieved is thus "inventory.vin"
But I cannot have a setter method corresponding to this in the bean because it is not allowed to have a dot in the setter name. How can I change the name so that it can be accessed as just "vin" without the prefix?

I tried using the name attribute of the Field annotation to change the field name, but it still requires the prefix.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Seema

Hi,
you can use


to define the complete prefix: Hibernate Search won't add the dot for you, so you'll end up with "inventoryvin".
Usually when defining a custom prefix the problem is to not forget the dot ;-)
