purging of indexes does not work

Hi,
i am trying to use hibernate search in my application. Indexing and manual indexing seem to work now. The only thing does not work is manual purging of the indexes. But if I delete objects with hibernate the indexes are also going to be deleted.

Here is my code:

Code:

   
public void removeAllIndexes()
{
     FullTextSession fullTextSession = Search.createFullTextSession(getSession());
     fullTextSession.purgeAll(MasterData.class);
     fullTextSession.getSearchFactory().optimize(MasterData.class);
     fullTextSession.flush(); // apply changes to indexes
     fullTextSession.clear(); // clear since the queue is processed
} 

This code is executed in spring hibernate template inside its callback method:

Code:

tt.execute(new TransactionCallbackWithoutResult()
{
    @Override
    protected void doInTransactionWithoutResult(TransactionStatus status)
    {
         service.removeAllIndexes();
    }
});

I don't know if there is an inheritance problem. The objects i am trying to purge are sublasses of MasterData.class.

Has anybody an idea? What am i missing here? Thanks in advance.

I have forgotten to say i am using Hibernate Search 3.0.0.GA. Can somebody help me? Any ideas?

I have solved this problem. I've found this bug report in Jira for the version 3.1.0: http://opensource.atlassian.com/project ... SEARCH-262 . So i would say there is also no possibility to purging subclasses with

Code:

fullTextSession.purgeAll(Class<?>)

in the version 3.0.1. It is a little bit dissapointing that there is no information about it in the official documentation.

eh you're right, but we can't fix old documentation without a new release...
It's a bug, it wasn't meant to be this way ;-)
