Need help on this one.

I have a date attribute on my object. I have it declared as the following:

@Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
@Field( index = Index.UN_TOKENIZED )
private Calendar date;

However, when I index my object, I get the following exception:

INFO - Version - Hibernate Search 3.1.0.GA
INFO - Version - Hibernate Commons Annotations 3.1.0.GA

Any thoughts on what the issue is? Did I declare the date value correct?

Thanks

Hi,

try using a java.util.Date instead of Calendar. The former comes with a built in bridge in Search, the latter not.

I'm going to open a JIRA anyway: it makes sense to create a new built in bridge, or at least throw a better exception.
IMHO we should make sure to create a "built-in" bridge for all types supported by core.
