Hi , I would like to share with you the solution I chose at the end to create a search facility for my Struts application. Basically, I followed the Erik's suggestion to realize something independent from the actual Struts architectural choice (Tiles, <jsp:include>, and so on), and a couple of Robert Taylor's email gave me the inspiration. Particularly, I realized that if I could simulate in someway a request to a Struts Action and write the response content to a file, well, I had a file ready to be indexed by Lucene. I had a look at the Java Cookbook, and Darwin gave me the solution:
1) I created a Struts Action which reads all the Actions in the configuration file which have a parameter forwarding to a jsp page and creates a collection with those information; 2) I created a Session bean which receives this collection as parameter (thus, a collection of Action mappings, like http://myserver/myapp/Login.do), reads the stream for each URL and saves the content in a file. Here I had a good idea: to name the file with the same name as the action, only replacing the protocol separator with '@' and the folder separator with '_' (underscore). The result is a folder with files containing the real HTML as we would see in the source after visiting a link, named [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 3) I run the real Lucene index, pointing to the folder where all the above mentioned files are located; 4) I run a query 5) I convert back the returned paths replacing '@' with ':' and '_' with '/'. Simple as that: I now have a collection of actions which the user can click on, which will result in HTML page containing the content the user was interested in. This is only the beginning: obviously many optimization may be done: for instance caching the results, giving the possibility to choose the separators (both for protocol and folder), organizing the configuration information in a XML configuration file and so on... Hope this will help, Marco --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
