Spring Boot + Hibernate Search: Unable to build Hibernate SessionFactory - jpa

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.
