I have below code in my spring-boot application . We are not getting any exception at startup but while creating attribute I am getting below exception like  
Caused by: org.hibernate.search.util.common.SearchException: HSEARCH400609: Unknown field ‘attributes.archetype.archetypeId’.

I am not sure if I miss anything else…

**Resource.java(Entity class)**

```auto
    @MapKeyColumn(name = "attribute_name")
    @Column(name = "attribute_value", nullable = false, length = 5000)

    @ToString.Exclude
    @OptimisticLock(excluded = true)
    private Map<String, JSONObject> attributes;

```

You are missing a template for your value fields (non-object fields). As a result, when you add a value in your bridge here, Hibernate Search does not have any metadata about the field you’re attempting to add a value for, and cannot determine how to turn the value into JSON:

> [@Prashant\_Kamble](#):
>
> ```java
> indexedAttributeMetadata.addValue(fieldName,attributeValue.toString());
> 
> ```

Define another template for your value fields. Something like this:

```java
public class ResourceAttributesBinder implements PropertyBinder {
    @Override
    public void bind(PropertyBindingContext context) {
        context.dependencies().useRootOnly();
        PojoModelProperty bridgedElement = context.bridgedElement();
        IndexSchemaObjectField attributeField = context.indexSchemaElement()
                .objectField( bridgedElement.name() );

        // ADD THIS
        attributeField.fieldTemplate( 
                "attributeFieldValueTemplate_default",
                f -> f.asString().analyzer( "english" )
        );

        context.bridge(Map.class,new ResourceAttributesPropertyBridge(attributeField.toReference()));
    }
}

```

Note this is almost exactly the code of the second example in [this link](https://stackoverflow.com/a/66493009/6692043) that I gave you in answer to [your other question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71235164/unable-to-find-below-classes-in-hibernate-search-6).

Hi @yrodiere - As you said , I have defined another template for value. something like below but now this time diff exception like i_s a value field, not an object field._

```auto
        attributeField.fieldTemplate( 
                "attributeFieldValueTemplate_default",

Can you include the full code of your bridge? Clearly something that I don’t see in your snippets is happening.

It seems you have two levels of objects. Basically your `Map<String, Object>` is in fact a `Map<String, Map<String, Object>>`, and you’re attempting to create a structure like this:

```json
{
  "attributes": {
    "archetype": {
      "foo": "bar"
    },
    "other": {
      "foo2": "bar2"
    }
  }
}

```

First problem: you need to let Hibernate Search know that you expect object fields at the first and second level.

The first level is already taken care of, it’s `context.indexSchemaElement().objectField( bridgedElement.name() );`.  
For the second level, since the object field name is not fixed, you need an object field template. And you’ll need to make sure it doesn’t conflict with your existing field template for values (at the third level):

```diff
 public class ResourceAttributesBinder implements PropertyBinder {
     @Override
     public void bind(PropertyBindingContext context) {
         context.dependencies().useRootOnly();
         PojoModelProperty bridgedElement = context.bridgedElement();
         IndexSchemaObjectField attributeField = context.indexSchemaElement()
                 .objectField( bridgedElement.name() );
 
         attributeField.fieldTemplate( 
                 "attributeFieldValueTemplate_default",
                 f -> f.asString().analyzer( "english" )
- );
+ .matchingPathGlob( "*.*" );
+ attributeField.objectFieldTemplate( "attributeObjectFieldTemplate_default" );
 
         context.bridge(Map.class,new ResourceAttributesPropertyBridge(attributeField.toReference()));
     }
 }

```

Second problem: you need to follow a proper structure when adding fields to the document: passing `foo.bar` is not allowed, you need to create an object field named `foo`, then within that object create another field called `bar`.

So you’ll need to change your bridge that way:

```diff
 public class ResourceAttributesPropertyBridge implements PropertyBridge<Map> {
 
     private final IndexObjectFieldReference fieldReference;
 
     public ResourceAttributesPropertyBridge(IndexObjectFieldReference fieldReference) {
         this.fieldReference = fieldReference;
     }
 
     @Override
     public void write(DocumentElement target, Map bridgedElement, PropertyBridgeWriteContext context) {
         System.out.println("######bridgedElement#######"+ bridgedElement);
         final Map<String, Object> indexMap = (Map<String, Object>) bridgedElement;
         DocumentElement indexedAttributeMetadata = target.addObject( fieldReference );
         if (!ObjectUtils.isEmpty(indexMap)) {
             for (Map.Entry<String, Object> entry : indexMap.entrySet()) {
                 final List<String> attributeKeys = getIndexedAttributes().get(entry.getKey());
                 if (!ObjectUtils.isEmpty(attributeKeys)) {
                     final Map<String, Object> resourceAttributes = (Map<String, Object>) 
+ DocumentElement attributesObject = indexedAttributeMetadata.addObject( entry.getKey() );
                      for (String attributeKey : attributeKeys) {
                         final Object attributeValue = resourceAttributes.get(attributeKey);
- final String fieldName = entry.getKey() + "." + attributeKey;
                         if (!ObjectUtils.isEmpty(attributeValue)) {
                             if (attributeValue instanceof List) {
                                 ((List<String>) attributeValue).forEach(item -> {
                                     if (log.isTraceEnabled()) {
                                         log.trace("Adding field {} with value {} to document.", fieldName, item);
                                     }
                                     System.out.println("fieldName1=="+fieldName);
                                     System.out.println("attributeValue1=="+attributeValue.toString());
- indexedAttributeMetadata.addValue(fieldName,item);
+ attributesObject.addValue(attributeKey,item);
 				// luceneOptions.addFieldToDocument(fieldName, item, document);
                                 });
                             } else {
                                 if (log.isTraceEnabled()) {
                                     log.trace("Adding field {} with value {} to document.", fieldName, attributeValue.toString());
                                 }
                                 System.out.println("fieldName1=="+fieldName);
                                 System.out.println("attributeValue1=="+attributeValue.toString());
- indexedAttributeMetadata.addValue(fieldName,attributeValue.toString());
+ attributesObject.addValue(attributeKey,item);
 			// luceneOptions.addFieldToDocument(fieldName, attributeValue.toString(), document);
                             }
                         }
                     }
                 }
             }

It would seem you didn’t remove this line as I was suggesting?

I edited my post to clarify that you should use `attributeKey` as the field name.

Thanks @yrodiere ! It is working fine now and index gets created.  
While searching same record I am getting ERROR:  
However I will take a look first.

```auto
This code causing the issue

predicates.add(pf.simpleQueryString()

```

Here also we need to do something like two levels of objects while searching?

As far as I can tell, your field is named `attributes.archetype.archetypeId`. You passed `archetype.archetypeId`, which is incorrect.

If this is the thing then actually we want to store attribute with name `archetype.archetypeId` instead `attributes.archetype.archetypeId`

Is there any way to exlcude `attributes` from the name while index creating??

Yes. Remove this:

> [@yrodiere](#):
>
> ```auto
> IndexSchemaObjectField attributeField = context.indexSchemaElement()
> .objectField( bridgedElement.name() );
> 
> ```

And use `context.indexSchemaElement()` wherever you were using `attributeField`.

Okay , I will try this solution. I think we also need to replace  
`attributeField.toReference()` to `context.indexSchemaElement().toReference()`

but` toReference()` on ``context.indexSchemaElement()` is not available.

You don’t. `context.indexSchemaElement()` represents the `target` passed to your bridge’s `write` method. You don’t need to create new instances of that element, one is passed to your bridge directly.

Thank you very much @yrodiere . It’s working now as expected.
