how to add search capabilities for custom entity?

[Ranga Rao Bobbili, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

Hi All,

I have successfully integrated solr search engine to liferay 6.1 CE and able to index entities(Liferay+custom entities).

But when i retrieve data from solr search engine, i am getting zero hits. Please find the below steps and let me know my mistakes.

Step1: Custom Table script

(CREATE TABLE `libertycare`.`liberty_program` (
`id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`lpName` varchar(250) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`type` varchar(45) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`created_date` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
`modified_date` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
`companyId` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)) ;)

Step2: Created custom portlet and custom entity(LibertyProgram)service classes using ServiceBuilder tool.

Step3: Created LibertyProgramIndexer.java by extending BaseIndexer.

Step4: Added LibertyProgramIndexer class to indexer-class element inside liferay-portlet.xml.

<indexer-class>com.xerox.ghs.he.portlet.searchentity.util.LibertyProgramIndexer</indexer-class>

Step5: Created search.jsp and retrived results but getting zero hits.

Indexer indexer = IndexerRegistryUtil.getIndexer(LibertyProgram.class);
SearchContext searchContext = SearchContextFactory.getInstance(request);
searchContext.setAttribute("paginationType", "regular");
searchContext.setEnd(searchContainer.getEnd());
searchContext.setKeywords(keywords);
searchContext.setStart(searchContainer.getStart());
Hits results = indexer.search(searchContext);

Step6: Deployed custom portlet and indexed custom entity from ServerAdministration tab from controlpanel.

Step7: I am able to find the indexed data. But when i retrieve data from solr, i am getting zero hits.

Could you please provide me the valuable inputs to retrieve indexed data from solr.

Thanks in advance................

Hi,

Can you also share snapshot which contains data inside Solr?

Hi All, please help me to resolve the following issue.

I am able to query solr but no results, below query showing different paramters in the solr log message. But i am not passing assetTagNames, groupid,scopreGroupId, comments,description,properties,title,url,userName,content etc... parameters in the solr console log message.

My Query
Indexer indexer = IndexerRegistryUtil.getIndexer(LibertyProgram.class);
SearchContext searchContext = SearchContextFactory.getInstance(request);
searchContext.setCompanyId(10154);
searchContext.setKeywords(keywords);
Hits results = indexer.search(searchContext);

Solr Log Message

Hi Ranga,

I've never used Solr so I'm not really an expert but maybe you can use my hints anyhow to narrow it down:

• Please check if Solr has some indexed contents.
• Do you have a tool similar to luke (to check the lucene index) to search directy at Solr level?
• If yes use the search query and check if Solr is returning any results.
• If not simplify the search query (e.g. by removing search parameters) until you will get a result.
• Now compare the search queries to know where the error occurs: at Solr or in Liferay (that means in your search class).

Thanks Oliver Bayer for quick response.

I have fixed all issues related to Solr search for custom entity. The main issue is with solr-web community endition plugins.
