Welcome To UJUG Website

The Utah Java User Group is a non-profit organization primarily concerned with helping all of the Java developers in our community keep our skills sharp and knowledge current. There's no better place for Java developers in Utah to socialize, network, and learn about what's happening in the Java universe.

We meet the third Thursday of each month (except December). Our meeting agenda includes two technical presentations, various break-out sessions, book giveaways, and (perhaps the biggest draw) free food during the meeting. Bring your Java questions to the meeting and you'll probably find an answer!

Visit our sponsors. We do not collect dues or fees, so without them we wouldn't have a group. This includes our meeting place, food, books, drinks, our web site and everything else. Please take the time to visit our sponsor's web sites and support them.

We're always looking to improve our group. Send your comments, suggestions and whatever to Chris Maki This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Hibernate Search

Abstract

The Apache Lucene project provides the ability to introduce Full Text Search into your applications. We will examine the why and the how of implementing it along with some of its shortcomings.

These shortcomings were the inspiration for creation of the Hibernate Search project by Emmanuel Bernard of RedHat. While Lucene is 'Document' based, Hibernate Search is Object based. We will examine this and other features of Hibernate Search and let you decide what the best fit is for you.
