[hibernate-users] Hibernate Search + Bridges + Spring

Hi, I'm currently stuck trying to use a Spring Bean as a FieldBridge. I have a persisted Class A which has a property of type String. The String represents a comma separated list of IDs which relate to Class B. class A { @Field @FieldBridge(impl=BFieldBridge.class) String bIds; } class B { String name; } I have a Spring service that is able to resolve the comma separated list of IDs into objects. I tried injecting the service into my FieldBridge which dosen't work since the FieldBridge class gets created by Hibernate Search rather than Spring. I would love to reuse the service in my FieldBridge rather than duplicating my code... Did anybody tried to do something similar and has some suggestions/ pointers for me on how this can be achieved? I'm using Hibernate 3.2.6.ga, Hibernate-Annotations 3.3.1.GA, Hibernate Search 3.0.1.GA, Spring 2.0.5. Thanks, Alex
