Hibernate Search in Action

HIGHLIGHT

Hibernate Search in Action

presents the concepts and techniques a Java developer

needs to add full-featured search to enterprise applications. Author

Emmanuel Bernard is the lead developer of the Hibernate Search project at

RedHat/JBoss.

DESCRIPTION

Enterprise and web applications require full-featured, “Google-quality” search

capabilities, but such features are notoriously difficult to implement and maintain.

Hibernate Search builds on the Lucene feature set and offers an easyto-

implement interface that integrates seamlessly with Hibernate—the leading

data persistence solution for Java applications.

Hibernate Search in Action introduces both the principles of enterprise search

and the implementation details a Java developer will need to use Hibernate

Search effectively. This book blends the insights of the Hibernate Search lead

developer with the practical techniques required to index and manipulate data,

assemble and execute search queries, and create smart filters for better search

results. Along the way, the reader masters performance-boosting concepts like

using Hibernate Search in a clustered environment and integrating with the

features already in your applications.

This book assumes you’re a competent Java developer with some experience

using Hibernate and Lucene.

KEY POINTS

• Hibernate Search is a mature (version 3) technology with the full support

and backing of JBoss/RedHat.

• Authors Bernard and Griffin are well-known as the experts in this area.

• Writing is concise and to-the-point, staying focused on practical concerns.

MARKET INFORMATION

Enterprise applications require high-quality search to give users access to and

control over the massive amounts of information stored in databases and other

structures. Lucene, the ultra-powerful foundation for many search implementations,

is difficult to use directly. Hibernate Search makes the power of Lucene

directly available to the millions of Java developers working with Hibernatebased

applications.
