Addind WebAPI to Nutch (Kindly respond)
Hi,
I posted the subject message on both the old and new developers mailing list but have not received any responses. I want to add Web API or web service functionality to nutch. The idea is that application developers should be able to call nutch webservice in their intranet or web applications. Google also provides such web service in which web service takes a query from the web service client and returns the search results to the client in a SOAP envelop.
I havenot heard from any body on this. Can I assume that no work has been done in this direction so far?
Thanks
Shahzad Tiwana

So far no one contributed such web API to the project. I have heard that
various people have developed such APIs for their own needs.
I have developed a REST API, which I could clean up somewhat and
contribute to the project. I assume that you would work on either
XML-RPC or SOAP API, right? In that case, I suggest using the Axis
library, for the licensing reasons, or any other ASL library.

Hi,
One simple approach to this could be to use the nutch jar file and the
plugins and then write a web application on top of it. If the web
service would essentially be a search application itself,
NutchBean.search() might be the only entry point needed to the nutch
functionality. My application provides extra fields to search for
specific metadata items. However, the same could be used for more
complex applications too.
The servlet that you use for processing the request can get the
results back from NutchBean.search() and then go ahead and
manipulate/process those results further.
Regards,
Praveen.
