Hi, Before 4.4, when you add a @ContainedIn to a property without the corresponding @IndexedEmbedded, they were still added and taken into account in the dependency resolution which was quite useful to declare dependencies between entities without having an explicit @IndexedEmbedded which are useless in some of our cases.
Starting with 4.4, they are simply ignored. I've spent some time to understand why and here it is: https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-search/blob/4.3/engine/src/main/java/org/hibernate/search/engine/spi/AbstractDocumentBuilder.java#L686 -> you can see that the @Contained is added even if there is no corresponding @IndexedEmbedded In the new code, the @Contained annotation is added in updateDepthProperties which is conditioned by the fact that there is a corresponding @IndexedEmbedded: https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-search/blob/master/engine/src/main/java/org/hibernate/search/engine/metadata/impl/AnnotationMetadataProvider.java#L711 https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-search/blob/4.3/engine/src/main/java/org/hibernate/search/engine/spi/AbstractDocumentBuilder.java#L731 https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-search/blob/master/engine/src/main/java/org/hibernate/search/engine/metadata/impl/AnnotationMetadataProvider.java#L755 I'm wondering if it's a desired change or just an overenthusiastic refactoring? We used the old behavior in several projects so we would really like to see it back if it is the latter. And if it's the former, we would like to discuss it :). Thanks for your feedback. -- Guillaume _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
