Hi,

I would like to understand if I can "mix" query.
for example:

imagine a table "student" with id, first name, last name, year of birth.. ecc

and another table "homework" with studentId, date, exercise text..

may I query the sistem for all the homework containing the word "napoleon" of all the students whose name is "mike" ??

how?
shall I ask hib_search to index first name, last name, ecc too? and what about performance?

Any help will be really appreciated.

Yes you can peacefully do that. Look at this example.

Chapter 4. Mapping entities to the index structure

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/searc ... ml_single/

Especially you can go through this section (4.1.3. Embedded and associated objects)thorougjhly. Nice example. And it works great.

in your example both ends of "place-addresses" association are indexed. (ie +name:jboss +address.city:atlanta both name and address.city are indexed fileds)

what if I can't mark as indexed filed any filed of students, as regard my former example, or addresses??

You must mark them as indexed. wrt performance, I dont' think you will have any issue, especially since this is a @MAnyToOne

thank you so much!
see you!
