Hi

For a history of the problem vbiew the last few posts by me on this thread
http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.ph ... highlight=

I have a question.

Within the FSMasterDirectoryProvider and FSSlaveDirectoryProvider there are TimerTasks which as far as I can see should be invoked depending on the timeframe set as "hibernate.search.default.refresh"

In my setup I am successfully able to send a message invoked by an update to a slave which updates the master index, which is correct.

What is not happening is the invoking of these TimerTasks for the Master and the Slave instances, so no syncronuisation of indexes in my cluster is occuring.

My understanding is that this is all handled within the hsearch architecture and no explicit configuration other than hibernate.properties is neccessary.

Is this assumption correct?.
Where are these TimerTasks supposed to be invoked?

Well I think I have sorted it out but have another problem

I decided the stick a break point in the DirectoryProviderFactory, and when the application was starting up the breakpoint was hit.

It turns out that there are no hibernate.properties visible therefore directory_provider is null causing the factory to return the default, which is the ordinary directory provider.

So the TimerTasks are being invoked, but sine there are no properties visible it returns the wrong Provider.

I dont knwo why the properties are not visible, but thats not a hibernate search issue
