You just have to loop recurssively over the C:\tomcat\webapps\Root tree to create your 
index.
Yes you can index databases; you will just have to write a mechanism that is able to 
create org.apache.lucene.document.Document from database.
For instance : 
- connect JDBC
- run a query for obtaining a ResultSet
- loop for each row of that ResultSet :
        Create a new org.apache.lucene.document.Document from ResultSet data
        and add this document to the Index.
end loop.

For incremental indexing, I suppose you have to store some timestamp field in your 
index; but it's up to you.
Note that Lucene is very fast and I don't think that incremetal indexing is required 
for small or medium amout of data.

Objet : Help for text based indexing



Hi

I have implemented Text based search using lucene. I was wonderful playing around with 
it.

Now I want to enchance the application.

I have a Root folder, under that I have many other folder, that are group specific, 
say (group1, group2, .. so on). The Root folder is in C:\tomcat\webapps\Root and group 
folder within that.

Now I am index for these groups separately, ie , I have index as C:/index/group1, 
C:/index/group2, C:/index/group3 and so on

I want to know if I can have only one index for all these say C:/index/Root (this has 
index for all the folder) and I should be able to Search using 
C:\tomcat\webapps\Root\group1(if want to search for group1) similarly for the other 
groups.

Let me know if this is possible and have anybody tried this.

2nd question

Is lucene good to index databases ? How do we support incremental indexing ?

(Right now I am using LIKE for searching )

Thanks in Advance

Mahaveer
