Sorry I should have posted som more code the first time around, here is the
whole method that i Use. I make a search for the term first to check if any
documents exists :
private void deleteModelTree( String modelTreeFileID, pathToIndex )
{
try
{
IndexReader ir = IndexReader.open( pathToIndex );
Term term = new Term( "modelTreeFileID", modelTreeFileID );
TermQuery query = new TermQuery( term );
Searcher searcher = new IndexSearcher( pathToIndex );
Hits hits = searcher.search( query );
if( hits.length() != 0 )
{
ir.delete( term );
}
ir.close();
}
catch( Exception e )
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I catch all Execptions to see if anything goes wrong and so far no
excpetions are thrown ....
-thanks in advance!
