Boosting @IndexEmbedded?

Can you boost a list marked up with IndexedEmbedded? Or we going to need to create a FieldBridge to boost the fields individually?

We have classes the look like (example is missing properties and methods not related to search - Class B is not being indexed, just its one property):

Code:

@Indexed
Class A {
   private List<B> blist;

   @IndexedEmbedded
   public List<B> getBList() {
      return blist;
   }
}

Class B {
    private String data;

    @Field(index=Index.TOKENIZED)
    public String getData() {
        ...
    }
}

putting @Boost on the property marked as @IndexedEmbedded should work, let us know otherwise and we will fix that

Well ... unfortunately it does not. At least not when the depth is more than one.

I have

Code:

Foo {
  @IndexEmbedded(depth=2) 
  @Boost(2.0F)
  Bar getMainBar();

  @IndexEmbedded(depth=2) 
  @Boost(0.1F)
  Set<Bar> getComplementaryBars();
}

Where Bar is like

Code:

Bar {
  @IndexEmbedded(depth=2) 
  Set<Syn> getSynonyms();   
}

And finally Syn is like

Code:

Syn {
   @Field
   getSynonym();
}

The generated indexes will show (when inspecting with Luke)

Code:

Field: mainBar.synonyms.synonym           Boost:1.0
Field: compementaryBars.synonyms.synonym  Boost:1.0

Expected result is:

Code:

Field: mainBar.synonyms.synonym           Boost:2.0
Field: compementaryBars.synonyms.synonym  Boost:0.1

I know Luke has a bug in this area, I would appreciate if you could confirm that with a real query.

Ok ... I will investigate it further.
