4.3. Providing your own id

Unlike conventional Hibernate Search API and @DocumentId, this annotation is used on the class and not a field. You also can provide your own bridge implementation when you put in this annotation by calling the bridge() which is on @ProvidedId. Also, if you annotate a class with @ProvidedId, your subclasses will also get the annotation - but it is not done by using the java.lang.annotations.@Inherited. Be sure however, to not use this annotation with @DocumentId as your system will break.

@ProvidedId (bridge = org.my.own.package.MyCustomBridge)
@Indexed
public class MyClass{
    @Field
    String MyString;
    ...
}

@ProvidedId (bridge = org.my.own.package.MyCustomBridge)
@Indexed
public class MyClass{
    @Field
    String MyString;
    ...
}
