Indeed, when I follow the procedure it is working fine ...
I created an index with following statement:
java org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexHTML -create
"E:/Java/lucene-1.4.2/docs"
default index-dir: index
all references absolute
Why can't I search an index of files somewhere on the harddisk, in
other words why
should the 'docs' folder in de webapps/luceneweb folder ?
Thnx
Willy

It's a known issue that the Lucene web demo is quite shabby.
I created detailed instructions for running it as an appendix to Lucene
in Action. I'm pasting the relevant sections below:
Running the web application demo The web demo is slightly involved to
set up and run properly.
You need a web container; our instructions are for Tomcat 5. The
docs/demo.html documentation provides detailed instructions for setting
up and running the web application, but you can also follow the steps
provided here. The index used by the web application differs slightly
from that in the command-line demo. First, it restricts itself to
indexing only .html, .htm, and .txt files. Each file it processes
(including .txt files) is parsed using a custom rudimentary HTML
parser. To build the index initially, execute IndexHTML:
java -cp lucene-1.4.2.jar;lucene-demos-1.4.2.jar
org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexHTML -create -index webindex docs
...
adding docs/resources.html
adding docs/systemproperties.html
adding docs/whoweare.html
Optimizing index... 7220 total milliseconds
The -index webindex switch sets the location of the index directory. In
a moment, youll need the full path to this directory to configure the
web application. The final docs argument to IndexHTML is the directory
tree to index. The create switch creates an index from scratch. Remove
this switch to update the index with files that have been added or
changed since the last time the index was built. Next, deploy
luceneweb.war (from the root directory of the extracted distribution)
into CATALINA_HOME/webapps. Start Tomcat, wait for the container to
complete the startup routine, and then edit
CATALINA_HOME/webapps/luceneweb/configuration.jsp using a text editor
(Tomcat should have expanded the .war file into a luceneweb directory
automatically). Change the value of indexLocation appropriately, as in
this example, specifying the absolute path to the index you built with
IndexHTML:
String indexLocation =
"/dev/LuceneInAction/install/lucene-1.4.1/webindex";
Now youre ready to try the web application. Visit
http://localhost:8080/luceneweb in your web browser, and you should see
Welcome to the Lucene Template application... (you can also change
the header and footer text in configuration.jsp). If all is well with
your configuration, searching for Lucene-specific words such as
"QueryParser AND Analyzer" should list valid results based on Lucenes
documentation. You may try to click on one of the search results links
and receive an error. IndexHTML indexes a url field, which in this case
is a relative path of docs/ To make the result links work properly,
copy the docs directory from the Lucene distribution to
CATALINA_HOME/webapps/luceneweb. Yes, these steps are a bit more
manual than they should be. Rest assured that improvements to Lucenes
example applications are on our to-do list as soon as were finished
writing this book!
(sorry about the formatting of the above - it was pasted straight from
a PDF)
