We read from the database and parse the data into a valid XML then I
hand over the XML file to lucene which in turn digests it and indexes
the information

Hi Nader,
As you talked about using Lucene for your http://www.bayt.com web site.
Do you convert CV's or any other documents to XML format before
submitting to Lucene for indexing?

Jagdip

XML is an organized, standardized format so let's say your document has
the following characteristics

File name : foobar.doc
Firt line title : Foo Bar
File content :
	Blah blah blah blah 
	Blah blah blah blah 
	Blah blah blah blah 
	Blah blah blah blah 

Then you have to read the file ( simple file read, java can do this in
about ten different ways, pick one ) But each of the files
characteristincs in a variable

And then parse it in a valid XML:
<doc doc_id=1>
	<file_name>foobar.doc</file_name>
	<title>Foo Bar</title>
	<content>
	Blah blah blah blah 
	Blah blah blah blah 
	Blah blah blah blah 
	Blah blah blah blah 
	</content>
</doc>


There are probably packages that will do this for you but it's so simple
you could pull it off in under a hundred lines, it's also good exercise
to familiarize yourself with XML (if you haven't played around with it
before)
