Chapter 3. Annotating Objects and Storing Indexes


3.1. Annotating Objects

Once indexing has been enabled, custom objects being stored in Red Hat JBoss Data Grid need to be assigned appropriate annotations.
As a basic requirement, all objects required to be indexed must be annotated with
  • @Indexed
In addition, all fields within the object that will be searched need to be annotated with @Field.
For example:
@Indexed
public class Person
	implements Serializable {
		@Field(store = Store.YES)
		private String name;
		@Field(store = Store.YES)
		private String description;
		@Field(store = Store.YES)
		private int age;
...
}
