Yes, it's not wise to just pull all Document instances from Hits instance, unless you really need them all. I don't do that, I really just provide a wrapper, like this:
/** * A simple List implementation wrapping a Hits object. * * @author Otis Gospodnetic * @version $Id: HitList.java,v 1.4 2004/11/11 14:08:33 otis Exp $ */ public class HitList extends AbstractList { private Hits _hits; /** * Creates a new <code>HitList</code> instance. * * @param hits <code>Hits</code> to wrap */ public HitList(Hits hits) { _hits = hits; } /** * @see java.util.List#get(int) */ public Object get(int index) { try { return _hits.doc(index); } catch (IOException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } } /** * @see java.util.List#size() */ public int size() { return _hits.length(); } ... ...
