Nutch alone is OK, but "embedded Nutch" is not Ok... extremely hard!
You need to embed "Nutch Client" into your web application. Nutch should run separately. I believe Nutch supports "Open Search" or something similar (XML protocol, REST-like) - your web application should use it to interact with Nutch, but you have to develop client-part. Sorry, I don't know current status of Nutch features... So that I posted about SOLR: SolrJ is out-of-the-box client library for Java, and for me it seems extremely easy solution for small search indexes (few domains). Nutch has plugin for SOLR (and command-line option) SOLR outputs everything as XML, JSON, etc. (instead of pure HTML which is hard to embed in another HTML) -Fuad > -----Original Message----- > From: Jaime Martín [mailto:james...@gmail.com] > Sent: October-02-09 5:43 AM > To: nutch-user@lucene.apache.org > Subject: Re: how to "upgrade" a java application with nutch? > > thank you for your responses.
