Hi,

Like a couple others on the list, I have a user requirement for full- text searching capabilities in an application that I am developing. As such, I decided to go with Lucene, through its Compass abstraction.

I actually got Compass + Spring + Hibernate more or less working in a past application that didn't use AppFuse - but does use a similar stack (Spring, Hibernate, Spring MVC). It used the out of the box HibernateGpsDevice.

Based on what I read in the following tutorial, I feel I'm on the verge of getting AppFuse 2.0 working with Compass + JPA:
http://www.nabble.com/Mini-Tutorial-3A-Compass-and-AppFuse-2.0-to12608860s2369.html#a12608860

Here's what I've done:
* In the same vein as mail.properties, jdbc.properties, I created a new property configurer in the form of searc.properties to the following directories (this is a modular project):
        core/src/test/resources/search.properties
        web/src/main/resources/search.properties
        web/src/test/resources/search.properties
  - inside of which search.index is defined.
  This should allows for separate test and web indexes to be defined.

  * I added a search.properties to the the following files:

--- core/src/test/resources/applicationContext-resources.xml, web/src/ main/resources/applicationContext-resources.xml:

<bean id="propertyConfigurer" class = "org .springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
        <property name="locations">
            <list>
                <value>classpath:jdbc.properties</value>
                <value>classpath:mail.properties</value>
                <value>classpath:search.properties</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>
---

  * And the following:

--- core/src/main/resources/applicationContext.xml:

    <compass:compass name="compass" txManager="transactionManager">
        <compass:connection>
            <compass:file path="${search.index}"/>
        </compass:connection>
        <compass:searchEngine>
            <compass:analyzer name="standardAnalyzer" type="Standard"/>
            <compass:optimizer schedule="true" scheduleInterval="90" />
        </compass:searchEngine>
        <compass:mappings>
            <compass:class name="gov.fws.news.model.Asset"/>
            <compass:class name="gov.fws.news.model.NewsItem"/>
        </compass:mappings>
        <compass:settings>
            <compass:setting name="compass.transaction.factory"
value="org.compass.spring.transaction.SpringSyncTransactionFactory"/>
        </compass:settings>
    </compass:compass>

<!-- A direct LocalCompassSessionBean, used with code within a transaction context -->
    <compass:session id="sess" />

    <bean id="jpaGpsDevice"
        class="org.compass.gps.device.jpa.JpaGpsDevice">
        <property name="name" value="JpaGpsDevice"/>
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory"/>
        <property name="nativeExtractor">
<bean class="org.compass.spring.device.jpa.SpringNativeJpaExtractor"/>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="compassGps" class="org.compass.gps.impl.SingleCompassGps"
        init-method="start" destroy-method="stop">
        <property name="compass" ref="compass"/>
        <property name="gpsDevices">
            <list>
                <bean
class="org.compass.spring.device.SpringSyncTransactionGpsDeviceWrapper">
                    <property name="gpsDevice" ref="jpaGpsDevice"/>
                </bean>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

Both in tests, and when running mvn jetty:run*, the parameterized reference to Compass' index is not resolving: <compass:file path="$ {search.index}"/>. In fact, I am seeing a ${search.index} folder being created in my project folders on executing tests/running in the container.

I cannot see what I am doing wrong in terms of the configuration of the propertyConfigurer. This works if the file path is hard-coded.

I can't wait untiL Compass integration is added into AppFuse (http://issues.appfuse.org/browse/APF-267 ). Once I get this working, I would love to share back my setup on the Wiki.

* I have run appfuse:full-source on the project, but this shouldn't be necessary - it just suited the needs of this particular project.
