Something like: public class SearchListener implements ServletContextListener {
@Override public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) { ServletContext sc = sce.getServletContext(); String indexDir = sc.getInitParameter("indexDir"); SearcherManager searcherManager = new SearcherManager(FSDirectory.open(new File(indexDir)), null); sc.setAttribute("searcherManager", searcherManager); } public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce) { ServletContext sc = sce.getServletContext(); SearcherManager searcherManager = (SearcherManager) sc.getAttribute("searcherManager"); if(searcherManager != null) { try { searcherManager.close(); } catch(IOException ex) { logger.log(Level.SEVERE, String.format( "Error shutting down search engine"), ex); } } } } Usually does the trick. You need to put some parameters ("indexDir") into your web.xml and make sure that it knows that SearchListener is a ServletListener for your Web app. But, to re-iterate what someone else said: if you really just want RESTful search, you might be better off with Solr.
