Wow, I really apologize for posting here before reading through the docs....it was there, plain as day.

Thanks again,

TJ

For some reason it seems the Document.getFields() method returns a List of fields that are not of the type Field. As you'll see below, they don't have the same type or attributes:

doc = lucene.Document()
field = lucene.Field("myfield", lucene.StringReader("mystring"))

field
<Field: indexed,tokenized<myfield:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>
field.name()
u'myfield'

doc.add(field)
fields = doc.getFields()

fields.get(0)
<Object: indexed,tokenized<myfield:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>

Java declares a List to contain instances of Object. Until Lucene makes use of Java 1.5 feature, such as generics, and declares this list a List<Field>, there is nothing JCC can do, automatically, to determine what the intended wrapper class should be.

For this, there is a cast_() Class method defined on all classes exported by JCC to cast anything permitted to an instance of the class it is called from. See line 119 of [1]. See sample code for many examples of use.
