Hi all,

is there a way to define the HS properties like DirectoryProvider, IndexBase and batch_size in the code and NOT in the persistence.xml. I would like to change the indexBase during runtime, without the need to redeploy the full appliation...


thanks in advance

Do you mean at runtime but without redeploying the SessionFactory (not talking about the application here)?
Then no it's not possible. What is your use case?
You can write a custom DirectoryProvider that deals with such hot directory swapping, though.

hi emmanuel,

thanks for your suggestion. I think a custom DirectoryProvider will be the solution. I want to switch indices at runtime to be able to reindex my stuff without disturbing the search feature. i´m still evaluating the possibilities...

A custom DirectoryProvider did the job. The only thing was to set a new DocumentBuilder for the mapped class with the changed FSDirectory...

I am now able to change the index dir at runtime through a System property.

Ah I see. I think FSSlaveDirectoryProvider might have done the trick as well. Go check the code.
