Michael: First, you should always do a merge externally and then add it to the server -- can lead to unexpected results otherwise. While some have said that you can do a touch on the web.xml file and that should restart tomcat, we have not even able to see that reliably.
We added functionality that would reset the bean -- so that the Nutch bean looks for the new segments when the bean is reset. We did this by writing a servlet that is called whenever a new instance of the bean needs to be created (which pings the servers for the new segments). On linux the segments are still deletable, on Windows you may need to write a function that goes and manually removes the segment name from the array ( I don't have the code in front of me now -- if the above does not make sense, send me an email and I'll get you the exact place to make the change next week). There is another (easier) alternative if you're using a client/server config and can invest in a load balance that sits between the web client and segment server.

Is it possible to merge segments using SegmentMergeTool without stopping Tomcat? It looks like if Tomcat runs it locks the old segment files and SegmentMergeTool cannot delete them. As a result after merging the search result includes both old and new versions of documents. Config info Windows XP + Nutch 0.6 + Tomcat 5.5 + JDK 1.5.0.
