Unable to reindex for custom entity having primary key as type StringUnable to reindex for custom entity having primary key as type Stringhttps://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_thread?p_l_id=119785294&threadId=1211490772026-04-06T02:16:16Z2026-04-06T02:16:16ZUnable to reindex for custom entity having primary key as type StringRitu Kishorehttps://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785294&messageId=1211490762021-09-16T20:16:19Z2021-09-16T04:21:48Z<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm implementing serch and indexing feature by following <a
href="https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034199432-Understanding-Search-and-Indexing">Search
and Indexing</a> in my custom entity having primary key as of type
String in liferay 7.3.</p>
<p>But the issue which I'm facing is in reindexing, I'm not able to
reindex from control panel -> search as it is giving a null pointer
exception as
method <strong>getIndexableActionableDynamicQuery()</strong> in
entityLocalService is not getting created which was automatically been
created when entity primary key is of long type.</p>
<p>I also tried to reindexing it programatically by calling
indexer.reindexer(collection_obj entity)
and indexer.reindexer(entity_obj) but was getting the same error :</p>
<p>
<strong>javax.portlet.PortletException: java.lang.ClassCastException:
java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Long</strong></p>
<p>Besides if I tried to reindex programatically by
calling indexer.reindexer(companyIds[]) then I'm getting null pointer exception.</p>
<p>It will be great if ony one of you help me in proceeding with this.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
