Common expected types for property values

Below are some commonly used property types across all Hibernate Search settings (engine, backends, mappers, ...).

Bean reference

A reference to a bean of type T can be passed as either:

• An instance of T,
• or a BeanReference to a bean in the dependency injection context (CDI/Spring/etc.),
• or a Class representing the type of such a bean,
• or a String representing the name of such a bean,
• or a BeanReference to a type exposing a public, no-arg constructor, to be instantiated through that constructor outside of any injection context,
• or a Class representing such type,
• or a String representing the fully-qualified name of such type.

The value will be interpreted in the above order. For example if CDI is used in the application, and a bean-reference property is set to a Class representing the type of a CDI bean which happens to expose a public, no-arg constructor, then Hibernate Search will retrieve the bean through CDI, not by calling the constructor directly.

Multi-valued bean reference

A multi-valued reference to a bean of type T can be passed as either:

• A Collection containing any value that is accepted as a bean reference
• or a whitespace-separated String containing any String value that is accepted as a bean reference
