[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HSEARCH-349) Allow custom Loader in FullTextQueryImpl

Allow custom Loader in FullTextQueryImpl ---------------------------------------- Key: HSEARCH-349 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HSEARCH-349 Project: Hibernate Search Issue Type: New Feature Components: query Affects Versions: 3.1.0.GA Environment: Hibernate 3.3.1.GA, DB2 Reporter: Julien Kronegg Priority: Minor When doing an native SQL query containing join and other complicated stuff, one can get a List<MyObject> using the following code: List<MyObject> list = entityManager.createNativeQuery("SELECT ...", MyObject.class).getResultList(); The MyObject class is an JPA Entity, but is not connected to a database table: the MyObject instance is reconstructed automatically by mapping the ResultSet column names and the MyObject field names. This object list can be indexed using Hibernate Search (by adding @Indexed and @Field annotations to the MyObject entity). When doing an Hibernate Search query, the FullTextQueryImpl.list() method uses a Loader which try to load the MyObject entities from the database by a query such as "SELECT ... FROM MYOBJECT where id in (?,?,?,..)" (where the list of "?" is the list of identifiers returned by Lucene). Here, we have a problem: the MYOBJECT table does not exist and obviously an exception is raised. The desired result would be for example to look into the initial List<MyObject> "list" instead of asking to the database. This functionnality could be done very simply by adding a "Loader customLoader" field (with its public getter/setter) in the org.hibernate.search.query.FullTextQueryImpl class and by modifying the getLoader() method such as: private Loader getLoader(Session session, SessionFactoryImplementor sessionFactoryImplementor) { if (customLoader!=null) { customLoader.init(session, sessionFactoryImplementor); return customLoader; } ... } After this modification, the programmer can design its own Loader which implements whatever loading strategy. For the example above, the Loader.load(EntityInfo[]) method may looks for each EntityInfo.id in the initially obtained List<MyObject> "list". There is a workaround: copy the full source code of FullTextQueryImpl and add the described modifications. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
