I understand that Lucene is required to run the Jackrabbit in my web
applicaiton. However, the version of the Lucene used in Jackrabbit is
1.4.3, and the Lucene version that my web application is using Lucene
2.0.0. Therefore, instead of using Lucene 1.4.3 jar, Lucene 2.0.0 jar
is used instead. But, I get errors when I tried to startup my tomcat.
Does that means Jackrabbit is not workable with Lucene 2.0.0?
Unfortunately yes. There is a backwards compatibility issue in Lucene
1.9 and 2.0 that causes the Jackrabbit to fail with the exception you
encountered. See the following bug reports for more details:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-352
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-523
I think the best workaround for now is to deploy Jackrabbit as a
separate web application (using the jackrabbit-server war) or as a JCA
resource (using the jackrabbit-jca rar) and access it through JNDI in
your application. This allows Jackrabbit to have it's own class loader
with Lucene 1.4.3 while your application can keep using Lucene 2.0.0.
