Two obvious candidates are locking bottleneck methods and doing index writing in a critical section, or having a background thread that does reindexing, and other threads add requests to a queue. In CMS I'm working we are doing the latter (so as not to block actual request threads which could happen with first approach, adding/deleting documents is done as post-processing when documents are created/edited/deleted). In either case you usually have a singleton instance that represents the search engine functionality (assuming single index), and from there on it's reasonably easy to reuse IndexReader as necessary. -+ Tatu +- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
