Hi, this is just a small report about how my progress on Hibernate Search Generic JPA is going. For everyone unfamiliar: My goal is to implement an integration for Hibernate Search that allows users to not be only able to use Hibernate (Hibernate will still be supported though). For a longer introduction, please read this: https://github.com/Hotware/Hibernate-Search-JPA/blob/master/README.md Now about the progress: Hooking into the startup process: This week I finally came up with a viable approach to hook into the startup process of Java EE applications. This being said I have been pretty busy lately writing integration tests for Java EE servers, so this was a quite obvious task to be done. Writing a MassIndexer: I am currently in the works of creating a way to index a big database of entities as fast as possible with multithreading enabled. This process is modeled against the way the original Hibernate ORM integration does things so users won't have any troubles if they want to try out Hibernate Search GenericJPA. What's next?: In the next few days I will be finishing up the MassIndexer. Then, I will be taking a look at the update system once again (this is needed to keep track of the changes in the database, so the indexes are up-to-date) and try to improve it. For further progress information, please take a look at the repository: https://github.com/Hotware/Hibernate-Search-JPA btw: for some reason my blog (http://hibernatesearchandjpa.blogspot.de/) still is not approved @ PlanetJBoss, what can I do to fix this? cheers, Martin Braun martinbraun123(a)aol.com www.github.com/s4ke
