Marc, If you're looking to expose the full lucene search functionality to clients other than Java you will need a query syntax which goes beyond the built in QueryParser syntax e.g. adds support for defining filters, span queries etc in a Java-independent way.
If so, the XMLQueryParser in the contrib section provides this capability and may be of interest. It defines an extensible syntax for expressing all lucene query and filter objects in XML and so is well suited to exposing in a web service.
