I agree with Jan's 'real-world' scenario - it is the reason I started this thread in the first place... :)
...not so much because of management pressures, but I see merit in being able to create indexes in either Java or Ruby, then use Rails to present a query interface. It keeps one's options open - particularly with PDFBox and POI in the Java space, although I'm looking into both routes of the pdftotext/ferret_helper tools, and applying Marvin's patch - so perhaps both paths can remain open. Thanks to all though, for contributing to this very interesting thread! :) Cheers Steven -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
