Hi,
I use HIBERNATE SEARCH to make fulltext research. I have indexed several properties of my objects. Later on, in my java code, I want to get in a generic manner the indexed properties of my objects in order to build my request. This would give me for example in my Lucene request :



Do you know how I can get in a generic manner these indexed properties relatively to my indexed objects ? Thank-you in advance for your answers

Hi,
I have been awkward when I talked about indexed properties of indexed objects. It is in fact indexed properties of indexed classes. The problem is indeed to recover in a generic way indexed properties from indexed classes.
Thank you for your answers.

Hi,

can you maybe describe your usecase a little more. Normally, you know what properties you have indexed and how to construct your query.

At the moment there is no public meta data API which would let you discover which properties are indexed. You could try to get hold of the DocumentBuilder for a given entity by using the SearchFactory. However you will have to case to the specific implementation SearchFactoryImpl. The DocumentBuilder contains parts of the meta information you are after. If you go down this path be aware that this is not a public API and could change at any time.

a little workaround (out of hibernate search scope) is to directly use the lucene native API with an IndexReader.
