Hi,

i got a lot of different Classes here, i annotated to be indexed. I tested creating indexes with the

with a beeing an object which is type is well known. How can i iterate over all my objects (of different types) to create an initial index? Do i have to query hibernate for all of the types manually or am i missing something?

Hi,

the answer to your question depends a little on the version of Hibernate Search you are using. If you are using a 3.1.x version you basically have to know your indexed entities and for each indexed type do a batch indexing as described in the Manual Indexing chapter of the documentation.

If you are using the 3.2.x (currently in beta) version of Search you can leverage from the new MassIndexer API. In the simplest case your code would look like this:

i currently have to use 3.0.1 (due to internal restrictions on hibernate), so i have to write a index loop (like it is described in the manual) for each of my (approximately) 100 DAOs?

Hi,

if you already have a list of all indexed classes you can just use the batch indexing code as described in the documentation. I must say having so many different indexed classes is quite unusual. At least I haven't heard of many such usecases.

Of course you can always scan your classes for all classes annotated with @Indexed.

There is one other way using the current API, but it involves a cast. Maybe that's good enough for you. From your FullTextSession you can do
