Hi,

I've been thinking for some time about integrating Cayenne ORM engine with Lucene to provide database full text search capability that is db-agnostic and works off of the Cayenne metadata. Now with the Summer of Code approaching [1], this seems like a good idea of a student project.

As I have next to zero experience with Lucene, I figured I'd ask for advice from the community. More specifically what I have in mind is an ORM query that does a full text search across a predefined combination of object properties, first looking in the Lucene index for matching object ids, and then fetching those objects with Cayenne.

Basically I am trying to understand whether such idea has merit (i.e. am I reinventing the wheel? Or is this something too trivial to even bother with integration?)

Thanks
Andrus
