Hi Andy, Thanks for clarifying the demo instructions!
Now, what about the NPE that Ken Munro cited (included below)? I'm encountering this too: dpg% cd $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ dpg% java -verbose org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexHTML -create -index /opt/lucene/index ... [Loaded java.io.RandomAccessFile from /usr/local/j2sdk1_3_1_02/jre/lib/rt.jar] caught a class java.lang.NullPointerException with message: null Could that be related to the NPE problem discussed in the "PhraseQuery: NullPointerException" thread, for which Ian offered a possible solution, included here: > Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2002 12:08:25 +0000 > From: Ian Lea <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: PhraseQuery: NullPointerException > 1.2-rc3 seems to generate NPE if one or more of the words in > the search phrase are not present in the index. > Works as expected, no NPE, with 1.2-rc2. > > If change method seek() in org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentTermPositions from > > final void seek(TermInfo ti) throws IOException { > super.seek(ti); > proxStream.seek(ti.proxPointer); > } > > to > > final void seek(TermInfo ti) throws IOException { > super.seek(ti); > if (ti != null) { > proxStream.seek(ti.proxPointer); > } > } > > the NPE goes away.
