Most Useful Lucene Taglib?

Hello,
 
Looking for most useful lucene taglib and have found references to one written by a Iskandar Salim found at www.javaxp.net/lucene-taglib, but that site is 404. Found a patch submited in 2003 bug# 20283. Downloaded and seems adequate, but from the docs I've read, the javaxp seems superior. Does anyone know where to find or the best lucene taglib to use? Looked in jakarta taglibs but could not find.
 
Regards,
 
Chris

By no means was I suggesting scriptlets, though pragmatically there  
is nothing wrong with view-tier scriptlets in JSP pages.  There is  
something wrong with JSP in general :)  (it would be off-topic to  
elaborate)

Being new to Lucene is even the more reason to use Lucene's  
straightforward and simple API directly rather than start with what  
is probably taglib of mediocre quality.

I presume you have some sort of MVC architecture in your system?  If  
so, the controller would receive a query from the client, perform the  
search, and push the results to be displayed to the JSP (perhaps as  
Hits or a subset of the documents as a Document[]).  Paging controls  
for displaying Hits could simply be hyperlinks back to the search  
with an additional page parameter that the controller will use to set  
the starting point for that page.  There isn't much more needed that  
that, is there?

Of course.  http://www.lucenebook.com for example, which uses  
Tapestry for the searching and results page.

I would estimate this to at least 50% of, say, the 
java-user@lucene.apache.org mailing-list, really a personal guess, 
though.

I was following an example in a book that referenced that taglib :) Book's copyrighted 2004 so there may be at least a small user base out there. I finally got the Sandbox version to work correctly on lucene 1.2. It doesn't work on 1.4.x. 
 
Perhaps it may be an overkill of a taglib, but my familiarity with Lucene dates to only this weekend. On the other hand there has been a sustained trend to move away from scriptlets. IS there a strong web client user base of Lucene?

Chris,

Once upon a time there was a taglib area in the Lucene Sandbox, but 
that has since been removed since the contributor of it disappeared.

What do you need a Lucene taglib to do? I personally thing such a 
taglib is overkill and harder to use than it would be to just code up 
the functionality you need directly.
