Hello

Currently we are using hibernate (jpa) and hibernate-search. I'm about to change from annotations to programmatic API and to stay typesafe i had the glorious idea, to use jpa metamodel...

So instead

something like


But sadly without success... Because setup needs SearchMapping a lot before StaticMetaModel classes gets initialized, I'm running into NPE.

Any idea how I can use programmatic API and stay typesafe? Any suggestion are welcome...

Hi,

we have been thinking about a type safe way for the Search programatic API, but haven't so far looked further into it. As you say, using the JPA metamodel could be one way, but it won't work for all cases. You would really need a Search specific metamodel.

At the moment you cannot do much to stay type safe, unless you either populate the JPA metamodel classes yourself or you write your own annotation processor.
