Basically we need a header such as negative_header < positive-header through natural comparator Plus for negative numbers we have to invert them so that -3 < -2 and not the other way around with a natural omparator @Pad(shift=4, signed=true) or @Pad(max=9999, signed=true) Note that decimals are harmless Also the Lucene recommendation is to use a Query filter rather than a RangeQuery, but ihis will defect the firstResult / maxResult -- 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
