I need to add some mappings after the index was created. I can't figure how I can I do that using Java API. Could someone provide an example ? Is there a Javadoc about Java api? Tks Tullio ---

Sorry but I don't understand. Understanding behaviours from code is quite hard. The FactoryBean You indicated where is it ? How can I obtain it? How to use it? I've the Client object and I use it to execute json but I don't understand the code format of the json message I should use to put a new mapping or override an existing one.

I forgot to say that's only an example of you can send a mapping to an ES cluster. Forget the FactoryBean unless you want to use Spring for your project. This example is perhaps easier to understand: > [https://github.com/scrutmydocs/scrutmydocs/blob/master/src/main/java/org/scrutmydocs/webapp/util/ESHelper.java](https://github.com/scrutmydocs/scrutmydocs/blob/master/src/main/java/org/scrutmydocs/webapp/util/ESHelper.java) The way I build mapping is by using XContentBuilder. Here is an example: [https://github.com/scrutmydocs/scrutmydocs/blob/master/src/main/java/org/scrutmydocs/webapp/api/settings/rivers/abstractfs/helper/AbstractFSRiverHelper.java#L143](https://github.com/scrutmydocs/scrutmydocs/blob/master/src/main/java/org/scrutmydocs/webapp/api/settings/rivers/abstractfs/helper/AbstractFSRiverHelper.java#L143) [https://github.com/scrutmydocs/scrutmydocs/blob/master/src/main/java/org/scrutmydocs/webapp/api/settings/rivers/abstractfs/helper/AbstractFSRiverHelper.java#L143](https://github.com/scrutmydocs/scrutmydocs/blob/master/src/main/java/org/scrutmydocs/webapp/api/settings/rivers/abstractfs/helper/AbstractFSRiverHelper.java#L143) I hope this can help you.
