Hello, i am trying to experiment with hibernate search. From the documents i read, i see that Queries retrieves managed persistent objects as search results. but many times, search results are not suppose to be managed objects, results are barely used for accessing the id of the managed objects (this is important when your managed objects are very big). is it possible to retrieve unmanaged small transport objects using the same hibernate search mechanism? or do i have to write my own classic lucene methods for that.

I have not dug into this area yet. Let me know if you want to contribute or give it a try.
