If I delete a row from the data base while the index is being built, an exception appears: Caused by: org.hibernate.ObjectNotFoundException: No row with the given identifier exists: com.mycompany.MyBusinessObject#17365 at org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl$1.handleEntityNotFound(SessionFactoryImpl .java:377) at org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultLoadEventListener.load(DefaultLoadEventListener. java:145) at org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultLoadEventListener.proxyOrLoad(DefaultLoadEventLi stener.java:195) at org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultLoadEventListener.onLoad(DefaultLoadEventListene r.java:103) at org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.fireLoad(SessionImpl.java:878) at org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.internalLoad(SessionImpl.java:846) at org.hibernate.type.EntityType.resolveIdentifier(EntityType.java:557) at org.hibernate.type.EntityType.resolve(EntityType.java:379) at org.hibernate.engine.TwoPhaseLoad.initializeEntity(TwoPhaseLoad.java:116) at org.hibernate.loader.Loader.initializeEntitiesAndCollections(Loader.java:854) at org.hibernate.loader.Loader.loadSingleRow(Loader.java:288) at org.hibernate.impl.ScrollableResultsImpl.prepareCurrentRow(ScrollableResultsImp l.java:231) at org.hibernate.impl.ScrollableResultsImpl.next(ScrollableResultsImpl.java:100) at org.compass.gps.device.hibernate.indexer.ScrollableHibernateIndexEntitiesIndexe r.performIndex(ScrollableHibernateIndexEntitiesIndexer.java:120) ... 11 more This causes the whole indexing process to stop. It would be very useful to me if org.hibernate.ObjectNotFoundException would be handled in a way that does not cause the indexing to stop. An error message would be sufficient.
