Hibernate-Search hanging with many (90) entity classes.

I am using hibernate search for my application. It is well configured and running perfectly till some time back, when it stopped working suddenly. The reason according to me being the number of my model (bean) classes. I have some 90 classes, which I add to my configuration, while building my Hibernate Configuration.

When, I disable hibernate search (remove the search annotations and use Configuration instead of AnnotationsConfiguration), I try to start my application, it Works fine.

But,the same app when I enable search, it just hangs up. I tried debugging and found the exact place where it hangs.

After adding all the class to my AnnotationsConfiguration object, when I say cfg.buildSessionfactory(), It never comes out of that statement. (I have waited for hours!!!)

Also when I decrease the number of my model classes (like say to half i.e. 50) it comes out of that statement and the application works fine..

Can Someone tell why is this happening?? My versions of hibernate are: hibernate-core-3.3.1.GA.jar hibernate-annotations-3.4.0.GA.jar hibernate-commons-annotations-3.1.0.GA.jar hibernate-search-3.1.0.GA.jar

Also if need to avoid using AnnotationsConfiguration, I read that I need to configure the search event listeners explicitly.. can anyone list all the neccessary listeners and their respective classes? (I tried the standard ones given in Hibernate Search books, but they give me ClassNotFound exception and I have all the neccesarty libs in classpath)

Here are the last few lines of hibernate trace I managed to pull :

Donno what the last line indicates ??? (hibernaterecognized....) After the last line it doesnt do anything (no trace too ) and just hangs....

You will need to give us more information. Can you take a thread dump and show the last few lines of your logs?

It's possible that either: - one of your entity is posing problem - some lock or file is hanging (which OS are you using? some limit the number of files open in parallel)

For the later, if on linux or unix, you can try to play with

ulimit -n <number>

Also make sure you run the index optimizer from time to time (check the Hibernate Search ref doc).

I found out the problem. I had not annotated my super class.I have a single class which is the base class for almost all my other model classes. But it is strange that hibernate search did not give any errors nor warnings... I tried a trick to find where actually it was hanging. I built the sessionfactory in a separate thread and printed the Thread's trace every 10 odd secs. To my surprise it actually did not hang, but the stacktrace was changing, and it always was in annotaion reflection package classes.

Just to check ,I saw my super class and annotated it, and voila......it worked......

@Emmanuel Bernard: Can you just confirm why did hibernate search not give any trace or error before and just hanged??
