How to integrate NHibernate with Lucene.Net

Question

This is getting quite annoying. Trying to integrate Lucene.Net search with NHibernate and i found only some information from year 07.

Is there a nice up to date tutorial for this? Where to start, what to download etc.?

Is there a way how to set NHibernate.Search metadata elsewhere and not on domain objects using attributes (i don't want to reference any nhibernate related stuff in my Core project)?

Answer 1

I wrote a short tutorial on this, http://jwbs-blog.blogspot.com/2009/03/quickstart-guide-for-nhibernatesearch.html

I have no answer on your second question. There is a book on Hibernate.Search, consider reading that book. http://www.manning.com/bernard/

Working on it, please wait (hopefully) a day or two.

Update 1: Done, submitted patch to NHSearch JIRA.

Update 2: This is now in svn trunk (discussion).

Update 3: Added small post on how to make your own mappings.
