[hibernate-dev] Indexing IDs of IndexedEmbedded components

This is related to HSEARCH-1049: it seems that the new includePaths feature is not accepting paths including the id of embedded objects, as in: @IndexedEmbedded(prefix="location.",includePaths={"city.id","city.city","country.id","city.region.id"}) public Address getAddress() { return address; } As the "id" is a special field. On the other hand, I remember people on forums [1] asking how to *avoid* having to include the ids of embedded objects stored in the index; I agree that often that's not needed, in fact I wasn't even expecting it. This seems to have been introduced by HSEARCH-108 - but it's not possible to "turn it off". What about having @DocumentId( name = "id", includeEmbedded = true ) @ProvidedId( name = "id", includeEmbedded = true ) ? This would default to _true_ (also when no @DocumentId/Provided is explicitly defined). Getting back to the issue about @IndexedEmbedded(includePaths={"city.id"}), the validation should be accepted only when it's included in it's embedded form. [1] - sorry can't find the references - in addition to other users this affected myself as well in the past.
