Rethinking this, I don’t think you need to know the subclasses ahead of time (at least if they are not hosting properties that need to be indexed. When reaching an unknown class, you can simply look up the hierarchy to find the most specific superclass marked @Indexed and use that document builder to index the specific subclass. That would solve the problem you are trying to address I think. _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
