Hello, I have a very simple webserver that I set up using web.py. See the simplest example here: http://webpy.org/cookbook/helloworld
The only change that I have above is that I also have a /search url that is handled using "class search" which just searches an index and prints out the hits. The code for that is also taken from pylucene tutorial: *class search: def GET(self, urlParams=None): lucene.initVM(lucene.CLASSPATH) # Where should this be called, perhaps not on every request? if not (os.path.exists(indexDir) and os.path.isdir(indexDir)): return "Invalid Path to Index" # Second argument being false indicates that we want to open an existing index # and not construct a new one. fsDir = FSDirectory.getDirectory(indexDir, False) searcher = IndexSearcher(fsDir) # Switch parsing to use AND, so use an instance of QueryParser rather than # the static parse method. parser = QueryParser("contents", StandardAnalyzer()) query = parser.parse("some query") hits = searcher.search(query)* The problem am having is that when I send a few requests one after the other then the server crashes. I tried to put initVM() right after import lucene statement at the top of the program but the crash still happens. I also read this post: http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/pylucene-dev/2008-April/002634.html.<http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/pylucene-dev/2008-April/002634.html> The problem seems familiar to mine, however, am not sure where should I put initVM(). Should I also be calling env.attachCurrentThread() somewhere? I am very new to pylucene, any help would be great. Thanks! Neha
