I'll just reply briefly and say that this topic has come up before
and is usually shot down because what you are after can be
accomplished by wrappers on your end. You would need to modify
IndexSearcher and family to return a JDBCHits and have your JDBCHits
modified to create JDBCDocuments, which seems overkill for what
you're after. Why not just create a wrapper set of classes that do
what you need with JDBC and Hits in an aggregate fashion rather than
subclass fashion?

Thanks for your reply.
I need to make a JDBCDocument. This document gets some of its fields
from Lucene Index. It contains a reference to a database where other
fields (larger ones) are stored. Later fields are only read upon
request (like lazy intialization). This is useful to me because when
a search is performed I need to view a snippet of the results. When
one is clicked I need to view the whole document. I needed to store
the snippet in Lucene Index and other fields in database.
JDBCDocument is constructed using an ordinary Document and a DB
connection.
JDBCHits is used to return JDBCDocuments instead of normal documents.
I need to do this without changing the code of the interface which
shows the snippets and formats the whole document when it is
requested.

Ahmed - could you outline your use case in detail and why you think
your design demands extensions of these classes?

Hello,
I needed in my application to override the classes Document and
Hits
to make JDBCDocument and JDBCHits. I was surprised that Document and
Hits are final classes and all methods in them are final. Why
this? I
couldn't make my program well because of this problem. Is there a
way
to overcome it?
thanks in advance
