Hi, I'm facing a problem with the dynamic templates when I try to set them using the Java API. When I'm using the following curl command everything is fine. curl -X POST "[http://localhost:9200/myindex](http://localhost:9200/myindex)" -d '{ "mappings" : { "mytype": { "dynamic\_templates":[{ "list\_mapping": { "match":"list\_\__", "mapping":{ "index" : "not\_analyzed" } } },{ "set\_mapping": { "match":"set\_\__", "mapping":{ "index" : "not\_analyzed" } } } ] } } }' I tried to do the same in various ways using Java, but non of them was successful. Here is a gist [https://gist.github.com/1328836](https://gist.github.com/1328836) with my initial guess in Java. If you run it, the output will be "{"mytype":{"properties":{}}}" , but this is obviously wrong, and If I try to index some documents with field names matching list\_\_\* or set\_\_\* they will be analyzed. On the other side with the curl command everything works great. ---

Didn't try out the code, but the bracket in line 37 seems wrong IMHO; Best Regards On 31 Okt., 22:05, Bojidar Penchev [dcode...@gmail.com](mailto:dcode...@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > > I'm facing a problem with the dynamic templates when I try to set them > using the Java API. > > When I'm using the following curl command everything is fine. > > curl -X POST "[http://localhost:9200/myindex](http://localhost:9200/myindex)" -d '{ > "mappings" : { > "mytype": { > "dynamic\_templates":[{ > "list\_mapping": { > "match":"list\_\__", > "mapping":{ > "index" : "not\_analyzed" > } > } > },{ > "set\_mapping": { > "match":"set\_\__", > "mapping":{ > "index" : "not\_analyzed" > } > } > } > ] > } > } > > }' > > I tried to do the same in various ways using Java, but non of them was > successful. > Here is a gist [https://gist.github.com/1328836with](https://gist.github.com/1328836with) my initial guess in > Java. > > If you run it, the output will be "{"mytype":{"properties":{}}}" , but this > is obviously wrong, and If I try to index some documents with field names > matching list\_\_\* or set\_\_\* they will be analyzed. > On the other side with the curl command everything works great. ---

Unfortunately the problem is not with the bracket in line 37. I tried without the brackets but , then I got exception related to the parsing of the JSON. And also the same JSON string works fine with curl. I think the problem is with the Java command, maybe I don't send the JSON mapping in right way, or maybe it's a bug.

OK, the problem is solved 🙂 I removed the the root mapping element from JSON and now the dynamic templates are working. This is the JSON string that do the work: String DT\_MAPPING = "{" + " "mytype": {" + " "dynamic\_templates": [{" + " "list\_mapping": {" + " "match":"list\_\__"," + " "mapping":{" + " "index" : "not\_analyzed"" + " }" + " }" + " }, {" + " "set\_mapping": {" + " "match":"set\_\__"," + " "mapping":{" + " "index" : "not\_analyzed"" + " }" + " }" + " }]" + " }" + "}"; On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 10:57 AM, Bojidar Penchev [dcodeboy@gmail.com](mailto:dcodeboy@gmail.com) wrote: > Unfortunately the problem is not with the bracket in line 37. > I tried without the brackets but , then I got exception related to the > parsing of the JSON. > And also the same JSON string works fine with curl. > > I think the problem is with the Java command, maybe I don't send the JSON > mapping in right way, or maybe it's a bug. > > On Mon, Oct 31, 2011 at 11:50 PM, K.B.
