You can add a serialized object easily as a stored field to a document, just
serialize the object to an byte[] array and store this in the index, e.g.:
ByteArrayOutputStream serData=new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream out=new ObjectOutputStream(serData);
try {
out.writeObject(dataStringContents);
} finally {
out.close();
serData.close();
}
doc.add(new Field("fieldname", serData.toByteArray(),
Field.Store.COMPRESS));
When have done a Lucene search, you can retrieve the object like this from
an Document instance:
byte[] serData=ldoc.getBinaryValue("fieldname");
if (serData!=null) {
ObjectInputStream in=new ObjectInputStream(new
ByteArrayInputStream(serData));
try {
bla = in.readObject();
} finally {
in.close();
}
}
But this is only stored content, you cannot search inside the object,
because it is a) stored and b) Lucene does not know what terms are in it.
