You should not need to have access, I think. Workers from the WorkerFactory take entity and work type. All of them are stored by the BatchedQueueingProcessor Then before tx commit, QueueingProcessor.prepareWorks prepare the queue and create Lucene specific works (queue of LuceneWork). after tx commit, the LuceneWork queue is processed. Either by accessing Lucene or by sending a JMS message. On Aug 16, 2007, at 00:29, John Griffin wrote:
