Hibernate Search in Action book

I am very please to announce that a book on Hibernate Search is on its way. John Griffin and I are co-authoring Hibernate Search in Action from Manning.

The goal of this book is to give a good practical understanding of Hibernate Search and guide people through the steps of adding full text search capability into their Hibernate based application. The book also covers the necessary Lucene knowledge you need to use Hibernate Search on a daily basis.

An early version of the book is already available through the MEAP program. Five chapters are already out there. If you are interested, give it a try, we welcome your feedback!

Umair,
You can go a buy the early version of the book in PDF at http://www.manning.com/affiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=952_117_1_24

Most of the chapters are done (2 are left). This should clear most if not all of your questions.

Can you please tell Manning to sort out their customer service ? We ordered the book + ebook, failed to download in the 5 day time limit (our mistake) and despite contacting them via email twice and leaving voicemails I've had no response. It now looks like we've got to pay out again which I am less than happy about (though I am sure you appreciate it)....

The exception looks like a classpath issue unrelated to the database.
Ask your question on http://forum.hibernate.org/viewforum.php?f=26
