java - Hibernate Search behaves differently between DEV and PROD with same databse -

i have 1 domain object needs indexed hibernate search. when fulltextquery on object on dev machine, expected results. deploy app war , explode prod server (a vps). when perform same "search" on prod machine, don't expected results @ (it seems results missing).

i've run luke ensure indexed, , appears should be... i'm new hibernate search, appreciated.

here's domain object:

package com.chatter.domain;  import javax.persistence.cascadetype; import javax.persistence.column; import javax.persistence.entity; import javax.persistence.fetchtype; import javax.persistence.generatedvalue; import javax.persistence.generationtype; import javax.persistence.id; import javax.persistence.joincolumn; import javax.persistence.manytoone; import javax.persistence.table;  import org.apache.solr.analysis.lowercasefilterfactory; import org.apache.solr.analysis.snowballporterfilterfactory; import org.apache.solr.analysis.standardtokenizerfactory; import org.hibernate.search.annotations.analyzerdef; import org.hibernate.search.annotations.field; import org.hibernate.search.annotations.index; import org.hibernate.search.annotations.indexed; import org.hibernate.search.annotations.indexedembedded; import org.hibernate.search.annotations.parameter; import org.hibernate.search.annotations.store; import org.hibernate.search.annotations.tokenfilterdef; import org.hibernate.search.annotations.tokenizerdef;  @entity @table(name="faq") @indexed() @analyzerdef(name = "customanalyzer", tokenizer = @tokenizerdef(factory = standardtokenizerfactory.class), filters = {   @tokenfilterdef(factory = lowercasefilterfactory.class),   @tokenfilterdef(factory = snowballporterfilterfactory.class, params = {     @parameter(name = "language", value = "english")   }) }) public class customerfaq implements comparable<customerfaq> {   private long id;   @indexedembedded   private customer customer;   @field(index=index.tokenized, store=store.no)   private string question;   @field(index=index.tokenized, store=store.no)   private string answer;    @id   @generatedvalue(strategy = generationtype.auto)   public long getid()   {     return id;   }   public void setid(long id)   {     this.id = id;   }    @manytoone(fetch=fetchtype.eager, cascade=cascadetype.all)   @joincolumn(name="customer_id")   public customer getcustomer()   {     return customer;   }   public void setcustomer(customer customer)   {     this.customer = customer;   }    @column(name="question", length=1500)   public string getquestion()   {     return question;   }   public void setquestion(string question)   {     this.question = question;   }    @column(name="answer", length=1500)   public string getanswer()   {     return answer;   }   public void setanswer(string answer)   {     this.answer = answer;   }   @override   public int hashcode()   {     final int prime = 31;     int result = 1;     result = prime * result + ((id == null) ? 0 : id.hashcode());     return result;   }   @override   public boolean equals(object obj)   {     if (this == obj) return true;     if (obj == null) return false;     if (getclass() != obj.getclass()) return false;     customerfaq other = (customerfaq) obj;     if (id == null)     {       if (other.id != null) return false;     } else if (!id.equals(other.id)) return false;     return true;   }   @override   public int compareto(customerfaq o)   {     if (this.getcustomer().equals(o.getcustomer()))     {       return this.getid().compareto(o.getid());     }     else     {       return this.getcustomer().getid().compareto(o.getcustomer().getid());     }   } } 

here's snippet of customer domain object:

import org.hibernate.search.annotations.field; import org.hibernate.search.annotations.index; import org.hibernate.search.annotations.store; import javax.persistence.entity; // ... other imports  @entity public class customer {   @field(index=index.tokenized, store=store.yes)   private long id;    // ... other instance vars    @id   @generatedvalue(strategy = generationtype.auto)   public long getid()   {     return id;   }   public void setid(long id)   {     this.id = id;   } 

and persistence.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?> <persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance" version="2.0" xsi:schemalocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"> <persistence-unit name="persistenceunit" transaction-type="resource_local">         <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.hibernatepersistence</provider>         <properties>             <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.mysql5innodbdialect"/>             <!-- value="create" build new database on each run; value="update" modify existing database; value="create-drop" means same "create" drops tables when hibernate closes; value="validate" makes no changes database -->             <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update"/>             <property name="hibernate.ejb.naming_strategy" value="org.hibernate.cfg.improvednamingstrategy"/>             <property name="hibernate.connection.charset" value="utf-8"/>             <!-- hibernate search configuration -->             <property name="hibernate.search.default.directory_provider"                 value="filesystem" />             <property name="hibernate.search.default.indexbase" value="c:/lucene/indexes" />           </properties>     </persistence-unit> </persistence> 

and finally, here's query that's being used in dao:

public list<customerfaq> searchfaqs(string question, customer customer)   {     fulltextsession fulltextsession = search.getfulltextsession(sessionfactory.getcurrentsession());     querybuilder querybuilder = fulltextsession.getsearchfactory().buildquerybuilder().forentity(customerfaq.class).get();     org.apache.lucene.search.query lucenequery = querybuilder.keyword().onfields("question", "answer").matching(question).createquery();      org.hibernate.query fulltextquery = fulltextsession.createfulltextquery(lucenequery, customerfaq.class);      list<customerfaq> matchingquestionslist = fulltextquery.list();     log.debug("found " + matchingquestionslist.size() + " matching questions");     list<customerfaq> list = new arraylist<customerfaq>();     (customerfaq customerfaq : matchingquestionslist)     {       log.debug("comparing " + customerfaq.getcustomer() + " " + customer + " -> " + customerfaq.getcustomer().equals(customer));       log.debug("does list contain customer faq? " + list.contains(customerfaq));       if (customerfaq.getcustomer().equals(customer) && !list.contains(customerfaq))       {         list.add(customerfaq);       }     }     log.debug("returning " + list.size() + " matching questions based on customer: " + customer);     return list;   } 

it looks actual location software looking indexbase incorrect.

when looked through logs, noticed referring 2 different locations when loading indexbase.

one location hibernate search loading indexbase "c:/program files/apache software foundation/tomcat 6.0/tmp/indexes", little later on in logs (during startup phase) saw loading place had set in persistence.xml file ("c:/lucene/indexes").

so realizing this, changed location in persistence.xml file match location (for reason) looking. once 2 matched up, bingo, worked!
