Hibernate Search with Eclipse Link

Question

Does anyone know if I can use Hibernate Search with Eclipse Link? Or do I have to use Hibernate as my JPA provider?

Answer 1

Hibernate search can't be used with another JPA provider... sorry

You have 2 options :

• switch to Hibernate as your JPA provider

• use EclipseLink with Solr (and SolrJ java API)

Answer 2

I am currently working on a integration of the Hibernate Search Engine that supports any JPA provider you throw at it. It's currently in, hmmm. let's call it late Alpha. Most features work (but I wouldn't suggest using it in production just yet) and you can give it a try with:

Some differences for your domain model are:

1. additional @InIndex annotation for every entity in the index
2. if you want automatic indexing of your domain model you currently need @Updates annotated tables that map the information about changes in your model.
