Lucene 1.4 (now in release candidate stage) includes built-in sorting capabilities, so I definitely recommend you have a look at that. SearchBean is effectively deprecated based on this new much more powerful feature.

Forgive my naivety, but isn't the purpose of the SearchBean more than just sorting? Without the SearchBean, creating a MVC demo becomes a larger exercise to undertake.
Could you elaborate on what you mean by MVC here? A value list handler piece has been developed and links posted to it on this list - if this is the type of thing you're referring to.
Again, maybe I was naively associating the "SearchBean" with something that it was not suppose to be doing. To elaborate, I would like to take the demo, which has been working with some success for two years on my site, and follow the suggestions of Andrew C. Oliver and go "Model 2 on the demo."
You and I have moved away in this thread from my original question, why I am getting the IOException: Bad File Descriptor, *and that is okay*, I'm learning a lot. However, I hope that we can come back to it later, if necessary off-list.
So the SearchBean's purpose, as I understood it, was to provide a Model 2 component for use in JSPs.

I tried looking for references to such, but no luck.

I'd love to hear how folks are using SearchBean though, and why they feel it is beneficial.
See above as to how I think it could to be used. :)
I agree that Lucene offers a tremendous amount of power! Kudos to all of the developers working so hard on this. It is a testament to the flexibility of Java.
I must admit that I get the feeling that "newbies" to Lucene seem to get less attention on the list. I'm one that tries real hard to research my question first in the archives (marc.theaimsgroup.com) then on the web. Even I get frustrated on some lists where the most obvious question is being asked and the asker misses hints and outright help. The Lucene User list can be intimidating even for the advanced novice who may be on the right track but not phrasing or wording or describing the problem or task in front of him/her. So forgive me, Lucene is a very powerful API/library (see I understand what Lucene is ;) ) and I get lost in the new search terminology confronting me. Couple this with a new desire to tackle Struts, and well, havoc ensues.
Many thanks for your help and answers. Tim
