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!
Glad to see the books in the works…
Didn’t get to come to JBW this year but might see you a JavaOne.
Actually would be happy to provide feedback on the book as we are using Hibernate Search quite extensively on various projects. If ya wanna email me some chapters
cheers

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)….
can you send me an email describing the situation (the email used to buy the ebook) at emmanuel hibernate.org
I will contact them

The exception looks like a classpath issue unrelated to the database.
