Hello Erick,
ah I got the problem solved :). here is how I changed my recipe object
to be
class Recipe {
@DocumentId
Integer id;
@Field(index = Index.TOKENIZED, name="chainName")
@FieldBridge(impl= ChainFieldBridge.class)
Chain chain;
}
Here what I am trying to do is, save object to be as index field and
there
is bridge to cross and bridge take care of how it should be indexed.
here is code snippet from my bridge
public void set(String pName, Object pValue, Document pDocument, Store
pStore,
Index pIndex, Float pArg5) {
Field lField = null;
if(null == pValue) {
lField = new Field(pName,"nullnull",pStore, pIndex);
pDocument.add(lField);
} else {
Chain lChain = (Chain)pValue;
lField = new Field(pName,lChain.getName(),pStore, pIndex);
pDocument.add(lField);
}
}
so here, where chain object is null I am saving the value to be
"nullnull".
The query I would use to retrieve what is null looks like
"chainName:nulllnull".
This solve everything I was looking for.
Thanks,
-Amar

hi Erick,
I agree lucene do not index the object. in the following example I have
quoted fields are indexed as chain.chainName.
I am able to retrieve recipe objects using FullTextQuery as
"chain.chainName:something' ... question is in somecase chain itself is
null.
I can be able to achieve required as below:
class Recipe {
@DocumentId
Integer id;
@IndexedEmbedded
Chain chain = new Chain();
//gettter and setter
}
class Chain {
@DocumentId
Integer id;
@Field(index = Index.TOKENIZED, name="chainName")
String name = "NULLNULNUL";
//getter and setter
}
so this means to always there is will be chain along with Recipe object
with
has default name to "NULLNULNUL" and that wil be indexed..
We dont want to do that, Recipe is our persistence object and we hate to
do
that.

How do you intend to index these? Lucene will not
index objects for you. You have to break the object
down into a series of fields. At that point you can
substitute whatever you want.
