Sure. catalog.index_doc(obj) should do it (where obj is the principal). 
Then you should have an indices configured to index whichever fields you 
want to index. Of course, those fields should be coming from an adapter 
for the principal that you have to create. THe adapter would look at the 
principal's annotation.
