Can anybody now how to access (read) property hibernate.search.default.indexBase from java code?
I need that property to show end user index path and for internal lucene search - I am using hibernate search only to fill index.

Thanks for help.

Hi,
you can't read the property directly, you could of course load the same resource and parse the properties file.
I'd recommend you get a reference to the correct Reader given the type:

Code:

DirectoryProvider[] directoryProviders = getSearchFactory().getDirectoryProviders( TypeYouWantToSearchFor.class );
IndexReader indexReader = getSearchFactory().getReaderProvider().openReader( directoryProviders );
try {
      IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher( indexReader );
... using the searcher
}
finally {
      getSearchFactory().getReaderProvider().closeReader( indexReader );
}

this way you get the correct IndexReader even in case you enable sharding or other complex configurations.
