problem getting a nullpointer exception when porting to linux

[Brian Sperryn <br...@bcom.co.za>]

hi everyone!

could someone please help me...
i'm getting a null pointer from the line:

hits = searcher.search(query);

i can't understand why, it only happens in a linux environment, not on my development XP environment....
i've re-indexed but that didn't seem to help...

thanks in advance

regards
-Brian Sperryn

Brian,

the line of code you pasted is not very useful to see where the problem 
exists. Could you please provide a small sample how the index is 
generated and the query is sent to lucene. If that is not possible, 
maybe the stacktrace could be helpful also.

Thanks
Bernhard
