Null pointer error when searching with DateFilter

[Anders Nielsen <an...@visator.dk>]

Hello all,

I am trying to search using a DateFilter so I get a resultset that lies
between two dates. Without the DateFilter the search works perfectly, but
when I use the DateFilter I get the following error

        java.lang.NullPointerException
        at
org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentTermEnum.clone(SegmentTermEnum.java:91)
        at
org.apache.lucene.index.TermInfosReader.terms(TermInfosReader.java:218)

        at org.apache.lucene.search.Hits.<init>(Hits.java:81)
        at org.apache.lucene.search.Searcher.search(Searcher.java:75)

and I was just wondering if anyone who have have had or overcome similar
problems, could give me the benefit of their experiences?


When I create the Documents in the index I use the following code to create
the date-field

        doc.add(Field.Keyword("timestamp", DateField.dateToString(date)));

where date is an object of type Date,


and the DateFilter is created like this:

        DateFilter dateFilter = DateFilter.After("timestamp",
from.getTime());

where from is an object of type Calendar,


and I make the search by calling search(Query, Filter) on an IndexSearcher
object:

        return _indexSearcher.search(query, searchFilter);

where query is an object of type Query, and searchFilter is of type
DateFilter.
