[LuceneIndexTransformer] storing index files outside Cocoon work directory
Hi,
Is there any way to let the LuceneIndexTransformer store the index files in a directory outside the Cocoon work directory? In the source code there is a check for an absolute path in openWriter(), however specifying an absolute (windows) path crashes Cocoon with an EmptyStackException.
Our problem with storing the index files in the Cocoon work directory is that they get deleted on restarts, which are sometimes unavoidable.
Thanks,
Niels van Kampenhout

Do you need to use a file:// URL?

Crashes !?!
I added that recently to solve the very problem you describe.
I have this working fine on Linux and MacOSX, but was unable to test it
on Windows.
