Hi All,

I have created project Spring MVC project with ElasticSearch integration.  
i am able to save data on elasticsearch-1.7.3 with nested fields now i want to retrieve my lists.

here is my code how i work...

```
//Storing my data...

List<IndexQuery> indexQueries = new ArrayList<IndexQuery>();
IndexQuery indexQuery1 = new IndexQueryBuilder().withId(userDetail.getUserDetailId()+"")
                    .withObject(userDetail).build();
indexQueries.add(indexQuery1);
elasticsearchTemplate.bulkIndex(indexQueries);

//retrieving my data userDetail have join with user and user have roles.
Page<UserDetail> pageObj;
        if (StringUtils.isBlank(query)) {
            pageObj = userDetailElasticSearchRepository.findAll(pageable);
        } else {
            pageObj = userDetailElasticSearchRepository.findAll(pageable);
        }
        
        logger.info("Size Users:"+pageObj.getContent().size());
        
        model.addAttribute("total", pageObj.getTotalPages());
        model.addAttribute("userdetails", pageObj.getContent());
        model.addAttribute("page", page + 1);

```

findAll retrieves whole data but i need the data i am saving with different role.

Now trying with the code

```
        final QueryBuilder builder = nestedQuery("userdetails", boolQuery().must(termQuery("users.roles.name", "ROLE_DATA_ENTRY")).must(termQuery("users.roles.name", "ROLE_ADMIN")));

        final SearchQuery searchQuery = new NativeSearchQueryBuilder().withQuery(builder).build();

        logger.info("builder:"+builder.toString());            
        logger.info("searchQuery:"+searchQuery);

```

but still unsuccessful.... Kindly help me to resolve the issue.....

It depends on your mapping I guess.

`ROLE_DATA_ENTRY` might have been analyzed with the default analyzer so a Term query won't match here.

What is your mapping?

Hi David,  
Thanks for reply..

This is my mapping of UserDetail it have nested object user and role

@JsonIgnoreProperties({"hibernateLazyInitializer", "handler"})  
@Document(indexName="userdetails")  
@Entity  
@Table(name = "UserDetail")  
public class UserDetail{......  
//////

@Field( type = FieldType.Nested)  
@OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, cascade = CascadeType.ALL)  
@JoinColumn(name = "UserId")  
private User user;

//////////////  
@JsonIgnoreProperties({"hibernateLazyInitializer", "handler"})  
@Document(indexName="users")  
@Entity  
@Table(name = "User")  
public class User {.....

and user have role

@Field( type = FieldType.Nested)  
@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, cascade = CascadeType.ALL)  
@JoinColumn(name = "UserId")  
private Set roles = new HashSet\<\>();

this query works fine ...without nested object query...

SearchQuery searchQuery = new NativeSearchQueryBuilder().withQuery(termQuery("firstName", "farooqfname")).build();  
pageObj = userDetailElasticSearchRepository.search(searchQuery);

but i need to search with nested object... i am beginner for elasticsearch....

Yet i don't have much idea of curl how to use it.. kindly write some simple examples....  
I have much time worked on only sql, jpql and hql .

Also i am testing this way too

```
    final BoolQueryBuilder builder = boolQuery();
    builder.must(nestedQuery("userdetails.users", termQuery("users.userName", "farooqesee")));
    System.out.println("builder:"+builder);
    final SearchQuery searchQuery = new NativeSearchQueryBuilder()
            .withQuery(builder)
            .build();
    Page<UserDetail> pageObj = userDetailElasticSearchRepository.search(searchQuery);
    System.out.println("Size Users:"+pageObj.getContent().size());

```

my query built...

builder:{  
"bool" : {  
"must" : {  
"nested" : {  
"query" : {  
"term" : {  
"users.userName" : "farooqesee"  
}  
},  
"path" : "userdetails.users"  
}  
}  
}  
}

But IDE Exception......

Can't really tell without knowing your mapping. But based on your answers I believe you did not define one.

Also I have no idea about what your framework is doing behind the scene. I don't understand how the nested thing is generated (and if you really need it).

And it's so easy to run some CRUD / search operations in Java that I always prefer doing that manually than delegating this to a framework.

( read [http://david.pilato.fr/blog/2015/05/09/advanced-search-for-your-legacy-application/](http://david.pilato.fr/blog/2015/05/09/advanced-search-for-your-legacy-application/) )

I think you are using Hibernate. Have you tried the hibernate search integration with elasticsearch? I think it might be available (unsure though).

I think i don't have the correct idea of mapping how and where we do that?
