Spring Boot + Hibernate Search: Unable to build Hibernate SessionFactory

Question

I am working on a Spring Boot project with JPA and want to use the Hibernate Search (API) to search for full-text queries. There are no errors when I compile the code, but when I add annotations to my entityclass to enable full-text search capabilities and run the code, I get the following error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is javax.persistence.PersistenceException: [PersistenceUnit: default] Unable to build Hibernate SessionFactory

And this is my POJO with JPA / Hibernate annotations:

import org.hibernate.search.annotations.*;

import javax.persistence.*;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Objects;

@Entity
@Table(name="products")
@Indexed
public class Product implements Serializable{

    /** int value that represents the id of the product */
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;

    /** String value that represents the brandname */
    @Field
    private String brand;

    /** String value that represents the model */
    @Field
    private String model;

    /** String value that represents the sku */
    @Field
    private String sku;

    public Product() {
    }

    public Product(String brand, String model, String sku) {
        this.brand = brand;
        this.model = model;
        this.sku = sku;
    }

    /** GETTERS AND SETTERS */

}

I also added these two lines in my application.properties file:

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.search.default.directory_provider = filesystem 
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.search.default.indexBase = /data/index/default

Can somebody help me with this issue? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The interesting error is this one: Unable to create index directory: /data/index/default for index com.jdh.pilih2.domain.Product

Your Java application needs to have the permission to create new directories in /data/index/default (or even create this directory if it's missing).

I suspect it's not the case and thus Hibernate Search cannot be initialized properly.
