Configuring Spring with Hibernate Search

iuliana · **Posted:** Tue Jul 29, 2008 2:26 pm

Hi.
In my application I have spring-1.2.8, mysql 5, java 1.5, hs 3.0.1, maven 1.2, slackware 11.
My application did not have the follows files: hibernate.cfg.xml, persistence.xml, jpaContact.xml and when I try insert it, nothing happen.
Are ther configuration different of this http://www.hibernate.org/441.html to put my index directory with hibernate search?
My Application

File components.xml.

Code:

<beans>
   <!-- Bring in the HBM related beans beans -->
   <import resource="hibernate-hbms.xml" />

   <!-- Bring in the hibernate related beans -->
   <import resource="spring-hibernate.xml" />
 <bean id="indexFactory" 
       class="org.hibernate.search.store.FSDirectoryProvider">
       <property name="location">
          <value>/home/iuliana/lucene/index</value>
       </property> 
              <property name="hibernate.search.default.indexBase" 
       value="/home/iuliana/lucene/index" />

       <property name="hibernate.ejb.event.post-insert"
            value="org.hibernate.search.event.FullTextIndexEventListener" />
       <property name="hibernate.ejb.event.post-update"
            value="org.hibernate.search.event.FullTextIndexEventListener" />
       <property name="hibernate.ejb.event.post-delete"
            value="org.hibernate.search.event.FullTextIndexEventListener" />
    </bean>
</beans>

File hibernate.hbms.xml

Code:

<beans>

   <!-- Add our HBM files to the Sakai global session factory -->
   <bean
      id="org.sakaiproject.tidia.whiteboard.hibernate.AdditionalHibernateMappings"
      class="org.sakaiproject.springframework.orm.hibernate.impl.AdditionalHibernateMappingsImpl">
      <property name="mappingResources">
         <list>
            <value>org/sakaiproject/tidia/whiteboard/hbm/LearningActivityVO.hbm.xml</value>

      </list>
      </property>
   </bean>

</beans>

File spring-hibernate.xml

Code:

<beans>

   <bean id="baseClasses" abstract="true">
      <property name="persistentClasses">
         <list>
            <value>org.sakaiproject.tidia.whiteboard.model.LearningActivityVO</value>
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>
      
   <!-- create a DAO bean, use the hibernate implementation -->
   <bean id="org.sakaiproject.tidia.whiteboard.dao.ILearningActivityDAOTarget"
         class="org.sakaiproject.tidia.whiteboard.dao.impl.HibernateLearningActivityDAO"
         parent="baseClasses">
      <property name="sessionFactory" 
         ref="org.sakaiproject.springframework.orm.hibernate.GlobalSessionFactory" />
   </bean>

   <!-- This wraps our DAO so that the transactions are managed -->
   
   
   <bean id="org.sakaiproject.tidia.whiteboard.dao.ILearningActivityDAO"
         class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionProxyFactoryBean">
      <property name="transactionManager" 
         ref="org.sakaiproject.springframework.orm.hibernate.GlobalTransactionManager" />
      <property name="target" 
         ref="org.sakaiproject.tidia.whiteboard.dao.ILearningActivityDAOTarget" />
      <property name="transactionAttributes">
         <props>
            <prop key="*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED</prop>
         </props>
      </property>
   </bean>

Class LearningActivityVO.java

Code:

@Entity
@Indexed(index="indexed/LearningActivityVO")
public class LearningActivityVO extends ObjectVO {

    static final long serialVersionUID = 7858074839098277580L;


    @Field(index=Index.TOKENIZED,store=Store.NO)
    private String description;

    /** Learning activity objective. */
    @Field(index=Index.TOKENIZED,store=Store.NO)
    private String objective;
/* getters and setters */
}

Thanks.

Hi,

the example you are referring to is based on Spring 2.0.3 and you are using 1.2.8. It doesn't surprise me that things do not work out of the box. When you say nothing happens - what do you mean? Is there no log output at all?

I am also not sure about this bean configuration:

Why do you configure the directory provider as a bean? Have you seen this somewhere else? I don't think this is a valid configuration. The directory provider should be set via a simple property:

Code:

hibernate.search.default.directory_provider = org.hibernate.search.store.FSDirectoryProvider

When i place the @Index annotation on my entity i get the following exception from Spring:

Caused by: org.hibernate.AssertionFailure: could not init listeners
at org.hibernate.event.EventListeners.initializeListeners(EventListeners.java:199)
at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.getInitializedEventListeners(Configuration.java:1315)
at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildSessionFactory(Configuration.java:1304)

I am assuming these are the listeners that update the Lucene Index when deleting, updating, adding an indexable entity? I have searched the and found the example:

<bean id="sessionFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="myDataSource"/>
<property name="annotatedClasses">
<list>
<value>us.mikedesjardins.persisted.Cheese</value>
<value>us.mikedesjardins.persisted.Milk</value>
<value>us.mikedesjardins.persisted.Origin</value>
<value>us.mikedesjardins.persisted.Texture</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.search.default.indexBase">/home/iuliana/lucene/index</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.search.default.directory_provider">org.hibernate.search.store.FSDirectoryProvider</prop>
</props>
</property>
<property name="eventListeners">
<map>
<entry key="post-update">
<bean class="org.hibernate.search.event.FullTextIndexEventListener"/>
</entry>
<entry key="post-insert">
<bean class="org.hibernate.search.event.FullTextIndexEventListener"/>
</entry>
<entry key="post-delete">
<bean class="org.hibernate.search.event.FullTextIndexEventListener"/>
</entry>
</map>
</property>

</bean>

But the exception is still being thrown. What is the correct way to register the relevant hibernate event listeners with spring?

Many thanks
Jeremy

Hi,

the event configuration looks correct for spring? Since you are using annotations it should however not be required. The annotation jar contains some code which will check whether Hibernate Search is in the classpath and enable it if it is the case.

That said, this only works if you are using the right versions of the required libraries. Which version of Hibernate Core, Annotations and Search are you using? In which environment are you running?

This problem was reported before and in most cases related to version/classpath issues.

Hi Hardy,

Thanks for your help.
Change a lot of thing starting to my config and .jar files.
I have add the following:

Code:

hibernate-commons-annotations.jar 
hibernate3.jar 
jboss-common.jar 
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar 
javassist.jar 
commons-collections-2.1.1.jar 

and other...
I change my spring version to 2.0.3.
I create the persistence xml like http://www.hibernate.org/441.html and initial give the error: javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No persistence provider for EntityManager named.... Then I put the persistence xml inside META-INF and insert it in .classpath.
Finished. Now its ok.
