Building a front end

[Ian Reardon <ir...@gmail.com>]

I've indexed quite a bit of content with Nutch and I would like to
start building a front end.
Is there any starting point like a tutorial or example of what files I
edit etc.  (I know JSP so thats not a problem)  I'm just not really
sure where to start, does the front end get read out of the nutch
directory or is it in the war file you drop in?  Any help/suggestions
would be appreciated.

P.S Has anyone thought about using nutch to index the mail list
archives?  I would be willing to do it if anyone would think its
usefull?  I know it would be for me.

Hi Ian,

A nice front-end is already created for you and it is done in JSP -- it 
is located in nutch-0.6.war (your version number may be different).

If you want to get up and running right away, follow the instructions 
at the bottom of the following page:

http://nutch.sourceforge.net/docs/en/tutorial.html

Or, if you just want to look at the source, you can unpack the .war 
file and start from there. Also, the JSP-based front-end makes use of 
NutchBean which is located in the package net.nutch.searcher of the 
included source files.
