I don't think you should do all that in the configuration jsp page... Somewhere..fine.. I'm pretty opposed to using getRealPath() on whole. Its evil. It would seem rather there should be an index reader that can take a war file directory as input for exactly this case... It can do the stream and all under the covers...

But you're right, Tomcat works differently. What kind of URL does weblogic return for servletContext.getResource("//index/segments")? Is it a file: URL? Keeping the index in files and using FSDirectory will be much more efficient. If all the major servlet containers support this it would be a shame not to take advantage of it. You might look at the result of getResource and use an FSDirectory if a file: url is returned, and do something else when it's not. > So in order to isolate from different interpretations of the > spec, I'm going > to knock up a WARDirectory that probably will wrap a > RAMDirectory (going > back to the servlet container to getResourceAsStream seems > awfully expensive > to me) as a first go. > I'll post my efforts in a couple of days. One technique you might consider is, when the index is not available as a file, use getResourceAsStream to copy it to a temporary directory in System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"), then use FSDirectory. Storing the whole index in a RAMDirectory will make searches really fast, but could also chew up a lot of memory. If the index isn't that big anyway, maybe this isn't an issue.
