[hibernate-dev] Search and Shard topic "up"

Hi all, I've verified a scaring design problem I found in the forum, it appears that Search and Shards can't be used together: http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=986285 The problem is that Search needs to cast the session to an EventSource, but when using Shards the provided session is "org.hibernate.shards.session.ShardedSessionImpl", which does not implement org.hibernate.event.EventSource; also it doesn't look like trivial to add the missing methods. Any thought about it? Should I open a JIRA: in which category, Search or Shards? IMHO I think the Search shouldn't do this casting, so it would be a Search design problem, but it's difficult to keep the code decoupled. Sanne
