Hi,

I have developed some code that creates a new JournalArticle and populates it succesfully with data according to its structure.
I'm using Liferay 7.

To create the Article I use the method

com.liferay.journal.service.JournalArticleLocalService.addArticle()

The article is succesfully created, it's state is approved, and I can see all the values correctly if I edit the article with the Liferay interface.
The problem is that I have another portlet which searchs for that kind of articles using :

Indexer<journalarticle> indexer = IndexerRegistryUtil.getIndexer(JournalArticle.class);
indexer.search(...)
</journalarticle>

..., and the new article doesn't appear as a result.
If I re-publish the article using the Liferay interface (without changing anything), then it appears correctly. So, I suspect the new article is not getting indexed.
I tried to add this just after the call to "addArticle(...)" but it doesn't seems to do anything:

Indexer<journalarticle> indexer = IndexerRegistryUtil.getIndexer(JournalArticle.class);
indexer.reindex(article);
</journalarticle>

Does someone know what I can do to re-index the article just after adding it or updating its contents?
Or at least point me to where is the code Liferay uses to publish and index the articles created with its interface?

Thank you!
