Search.jhtml ?

I think that Search.jhtml is totally outdated, please try src/jsp instead.

Regards
Daniel

First at all, thanks for you answer.
Now I get some results with the jsp's, but the url's in de result is
not clickeable ...
Is this normal? (should I modify the template?)

TIA & Regards
Willy

The template expects fields "title" and "url" in the index (and stored), if
these are available there should be one link per match you can click on.

It's a known issue that the Lucene web demo is quite shabby.

I created detailed instructions for running it as an appendix to Lucene
in Action. I'm pasting the relevant sections below:


Running the web application demo The web demo is slightly involved to
set up and run properly.
You need a web container; our instructions are for Tomcat 5. The
docs/demo.html documentation provides detailed instructions for setting
up and running the web application, but you can also follow the steps
provided here. The index used by the web application differs slightly
from that in the command-line demo. First, it restricts itself to
indexing only .html, .htm, and .txt files. Each file it processes
(including .txt files) is parsed using a custom rudimentary HTML
parser. To build the index initially, execute IndexHTML:

java -cp lucene-1.4.2.jar;lucene-demos-1.4.2.jar
org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexHTML -create -index webindex docs

...
adding docs/resources.html
adding docs/systemproperties.html
adding docs/whoweare.html
Optimizing index... 7220 total milliseconds

The -index webindex switch sets the location of the index directory. In
a moment, you’ll need the full path to this directory to configure the
web application. The final docs argument to IndexHTML is the directory
tree to index. The –create switch creates an index from scratch. Remove
this switch to update the index with files that have been added or
changed since the last time the index was built. Next, deploy
luceneweb.war (from the root directory of the extracted distribution)
into CATALINA_HOME/webapps. Start Tomcat, wait for the container to
complete the startup routine, and then edit
CATALINA_HOME/webapps/luceneweb/configuration.jsp using a text editor
(Tomcat should have expanded the .war file into a luceneweb directory
automatically). Change the value of indexLocation appropriately, as in
this example, specifying the absolute path to the index you built with
IndexHTML:

String indexLocation =
"/dev/LuceneInAction/install/lucene-1.4.1/webindex";

Now you’re ready to try the web application. Visit
http://localhost:8080/luceneweb in your web browser, and you should see
“Welcome to the Lucene Template application...” (you can also change
the header and footer text in configuration.jsp). If all is well with
your configuration, searching for Lucene-specific words such as
"QueryParser AND Analyzer" should list valid results based on Lucene’s
documentation. You may try to click on one of the search results links
and receive an error. IndexHTML indexes a url field, which in this case
is a relative path of docs/.... To make the result links work properly,
copy the docs directory from the Lucene distribution to
CATALINA_HOME/webapps/luceneweb. Yes, these steps are a bit more
manual than they should be. Rest assured that improvements to Lucene’s
example applications are on our to-do list as soon as we’re finished
writing this book!

(sorry about the formatting of the above - it was pasted straight from
a PDF)

Indeed, when I follow the procedure it is working fine ...
I created an index with following statement:
java org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexHTML -create
"E:/Java/lucene-1.4.2/docs"
default index-dir: index
all references absolute
Why can't I search an index of files somewhere on the harddisk, in
other words why
should the 'docs' folder in de webapps/luceneweb folder ?

Thnx
Willy

That's just what makes the demo work. Again, the demo application is
merely that (and relatively weakly done, as you can tell). Feel free
to borrow parts of it or adapt it for other purposes than its basic
purpose of showing how to index and search.

I have had strong intentions to improve the Lucene demo application.
The Lucene book is now done (final typesetting corrections are now
being made), and I've got a few more speaking commitments (Reston and
Denver NFJS as well as ApacheCon). I plan on taking a bit of a
breather after that in November, and then in December I plan on ramping
up my involvement with the Lucene community, and improving the demo
application is going to be part of those efforts.

If you have improvements to contribute or suggest, send them our way!
:)

The lucene-demo is now working fine outside the tomcat/webapps dir.
I created a folder, lets say 'c:/Test'. Copied the lucene-doxs to
that folder.
Afterwards I deployed the war file to this folder.
I created an index to 'c:/test/index' and modified the
configuration.jsp
Last I added an application to tomcat (lucene.xml in the conf
folder).
And ... lucene is working fine!

Thanks a lot for your help
Regards
Willy
