Because I'm embedding the index inside another file... So that file is self-contained, containing both the payload (which might not be text) and the index...
But I figured out how to do it already... I just made RAMDirectory and RAMFile Serializable and create my own build of lucene... -----Original Message----- From: Erik Hatcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 7:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: serializable RAMDirectory On Mar 20, 2006, at 1:05 AM, Aditya Liviandi wrote: > Is there any implementation of lucene that allows the index to be > portable?

Could you be more specific about what you want that Lucene does not already provide? FSDirectory is essentially a serialized RAMDirectory. What do you mean by "unpack the file"? There is nothing special needed to move an index from one machine to another, simply copy the entire directory and use your searching code to refer to its location.
