Domain Driven Design, Hibernate, Hibernate Tool and Hibernate Search can (not) work together.

Turn inside out and look what you have. Do not belive in fairy tales.

What have at the moment:

• anemic domain model;
• domain API (interfaces);
• xml hibernate mapping (with some advanced tricks like meta and java code injection);
• generated from xml hibernate entities, that implements domain API.

I want to add full text search to existing stuff, of cause the first solution - lets use hibernate search ! Do you belive, that is possible ? I was too naive and believed that is possible.

In depth:

• impossible to configure hibernate search with xml
• impossible to annotate entity interface with @Indexed, @Field, etc. because hibernate search look for annotation in class only
• hibernate tools not support <meta> tags for hibernate search.

So im gonna to throw hibernate search away and use something like compass or hack it
