Lucene index inside of a web app?
Hello,
I want to store the generated Lucene index inside of my Java application,
preferably within a folder where my JSP files are located. I also want to
be able to search from the index within the web app. I've been using the
LUCENE_INDEX_DIRECTORY but, this is on a file system (currently my hard
drive). Should I continue to use LUCENE_INDEX_DIRECTORY if I want the
Lucene index inside the app or use something else. I was a bit confused
about this. Btw, the Lucene index content comes from a database.
Any help is appreciated

80% of the Web containers follow the same stattegy....
web.xml is well explained in this URL.

Re: Lucene index inside of a web app?
Posted by KARTHIK SHIVAKUMAR <ns...@gmail.com>.
Hi
>> generated Lucene index
What if u need to upgrade this with More docs....
Best approach is Inject the Real path of the Index ( c:/temp/Indexes ) to
the Web server Application via "web.xml"
By this approach u can even achieve
1) Load balancing of multiple Web servers.... pointing to same Index files
2) Update /Delete /Re-index with out the Web application being interrupted

You can store the index in WEB_INF directory, just use something:
ServletContext.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/data/myIndexName");

Re: Lucene index inside of a web app?
Posted by Ian Lea <ia...@gmail.com>.
Using a static string is fine - it just wasn't clear from your
original post what it was.
I usually use a full path read from a properties file so that I can
change it without a recompile, have different settings on
test/live/whatever systems, etc. Works for me, but isn't the only way
to do it.
If you know where your app lives, you could use a full path pointing
to somewhere within that tree, or you could use a partial path that
the app server will interpret relative to something. Which is fine
too - take your pick of whatever works for you.

Hi,
Thanks for your response. Yes, LUCENE_INDEX_DIRECTORY is a static string
which contains the file system path of the index (for example, c:\\index).
Is this good practice? If not, what should the full path to an index
look like?
Thanks

What is LUCENE_INDEX_DIRECTORY? Some static string in your app?
Lucene knows nothing about your app, JSP, or what app server you are
using. It requires a file system path and it is up to you to provide
that. I always use a full path since I prefer to store indexes
outside the app and it avoids complications with what the app server
considers the default directory. But if you want to store it inside,
without specifying full path, look at the docs for your app server.
