You're going to navigate Hits through a session bean? And as you said, the EJB spec says not to use file I/O from EJB's. That is a good recommendation if you are distributing your system across servers and replication is occurring - if another call to a session bean occurs and ends up on a different server, then the file handle is lost.
I violate the spec in my JavaDevWithAnt project and have one mode where I have a stateless session bean returning search results: http://www.ehatchersolutions.com/JavaDevWithAnt - but I definitely do not recommend it. It works when you are in a single-server environment.
In summary - EJB and Lucene are not a good mix - don't force it just to be buzzword compliant.

hi all
purely due to a policy decision, we would like to host our lucene search
application , in a j2ee container, preferable by means of a ejb.
Since access to java.io is restricted by the ejb specification, what would
be the best way to create desgin the application ?
i have taken a look at [EMAIL PROTECTED] but it my relies on mbeans and not a
session bean
does any one have pointers or samples that can be looked at
