[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HSEARCH-678) Document type limitations of @NumericField

Document type limitations of @NumericField ------------------------------------------ Key: HSEARCH-678 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HSEARCH-678 Project: Hibernate Search Issue Type: Bug Components: mapping, query Affects Versions: 3.3.0.Final Environment: Hibernate 3.6.0, MySQL 5.1.52, Fedora Core 14 Reporter: Nick Fenwick Assignee: Sanne Grinovero Priority: Minor Fix For: 4.0.0.Final Attachments: HSEARCH-678-unittest1.tgz, proposed_doc.txt This is my first JIRA so please help me assigns its Component above correctly. My first attempt to use BigDecimal ran into trouble trying to use the new @NumericField annotation. The SessionFactory fails to create an instance of the session. The code: {{ @Column(name="val") @Field(name="val", index=Index.UN_TOKENIZED, store=Store.YES) @NumericField private BigDecimal val; }} Results in the exception: {{ Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError [cut] Caused by: org.hibernate.HibernateException: could not init listeners [cut] Caused by: org.hibernate.search.SearchException: Unable to guess FieldBridge for val at org.hibernate.search.bridge.BridgeFactory.guessType(BridgeFactory.java:250) at org.hibernate.search.engine.AbstractDocumentBuilder.bindFieldAnnotation(AbstractDocumentBuilder.java:690) at org.hibernate.search.engine.AbstractDocumentBuilder.checkForField(AbstractDocumentBuilder.java:564) [cut] }} Taking out the @NumericField allows the session to start up successfully. I will attempt to make a test case but I'm having local build env issues. 'mvn clean install' of a fresh hibernate search git checkout is taking an incredibly long time (an hour for the first 10 or so .pom files?) so I may be several hours or days over this trivial task.
