Hi, I'm currently using Lucene on a java web site; I've a class containing a synchronized method that runs all the update on the index, this class also contains a method (not synchronized) called getSearcher which returns an IndexSearcher object.
I'm using the singleton pattern for this class so there can be only one instance. When I update the index I close() the IndexSearcher object in the class, run the update then create a new IndexSearcher. This is my problem: I add a document to the index and search for I can find it. If I remove the document and search for it again it doesn't find anything (correct behaviour). If I add again the same document to the index I can't find it until I restart the application server (I should be able to find it). I've noticed that if I create a new IndexSearcher every time they call the method getSearcher instead of returning the one already instanced it works fine, that's strange because I create a new IndexSearcher every time I run the synchronized update method. Any suggestion? Regards, Stefano --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
