FSDirectory Problem

[Ralph Schaer]

Hello

I try to update a web application from 1.4-rc1 to 1.4-rc2. But that's 
not working. An error occurrs. The application is running inside tomcat 
5.0.19.

Here's the code:

File f = 
(File)servlet.getServletContext().getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir");
File ixDir = new File(f, "index");
IndexWriter writer = new IndexWriter(ixDir.getPath(), new 
StandardAnalyzer(), true)

and here's the error.

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.create(FSDirectory.java:146)
        at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.<init>(FSDirectory.java:126)
        at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.getDirectory(FSDirectory.java:102)
        at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.getDirectory(FSDirectory.java:83)
        at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter.<init>(IndexWriter.java:172)
The code works with lucene 1.4-rc1.

Regards
Ralph
