Hi All,

I'm new to hiberante search and have a project need to be finished within several days. So it's too much for me to read the whole Hibernate Search In Action book.

I need to use Hibernate search API to do the index and search for properties which is not going to save to database. Could anybody give me any idea how to do it?

I know for Database entity, I can just add @Indexed annotation inside the Entity class. But for non database property, how can I index them and search it with Hiberatne search later time.

Thanks very much,

A ClassBridge could be a solution. Have a look at the examples for ClassBridges in the online documentation. Since you don't have the time to read "Hibernate Search in Action" it might be a good idea to at least read the online manual. It might save you a lot of grief ;-)

In a class bridge you get passed the whole entity and the Lucene document. So it is up to you what and how you index.
