Enabling URL-based read access to the search index

I am planning to upgrade from Lucene 1.0 to Jakarta Lucene 1.2.  My current implementation uses Jason Pell's URLDirectory class so that Lucene can access the search index while running in an applet.  I modified IndexReader.java to use URLDirectory instead of FSDirectory.

Is there a more appropriate way to allow Lucene to function using URL-based file access?  I would prefer to extend classes or interfaces instead of modifying them.  I have no requirement to update the search index from the applet.

Thanks,
David

Why do you need to modify IndexReader, rather than just pass it a 
different Directory implementation?

David,

The url-based file access piques my curiousity.  Could you point me to the
URLDirectory code?  And, if you are able/willing, perhaps to your changes to
IndexReader.java?

Regards,

Terry
