I haven't tested this out too well, but I've been using it on my
development box. In case people are wondering how to get a
new NutchBean which will re-read the index, what I did was write
a little JSP page called reset_nutch_bean.jsp. All it does it remove
the "nutchBean" attr from the application context. So the next
search that comes along will create a new bean.
Any time I upload a new index, I just run this page. Pretty easy.
It's not automated, but it's easy enough to do after uploading
an index. You could automate it by adding it to a script
after finishing an index or after doing an upload or just run it
periodically with cron.
The code is after my sig. Let me know if what I've done is bad in
some way.

application.removeAttribute("nutchBean");
