It can happen on Windows too, where (I think) there is an effective limit of about 2k open files for the JVM as a whole. This is not a restriction imposed by Windows per se, which I think does NOT impose a security limit per process, but is just a consequence of the specific (legacy) file i/o API that the JVM uses. So it's a hard limit alright, but at least 2k is a much bigger number than 256! :-) The trouble is ... although Cocoon comes with OS startup scripts, many people deploy Cocoon in some other container (Tomcat, etc) and will need to tweak the startup scripts of the container application instead. So it's important to document the issue, and particularly to include the Exception's error message in the docs, so that people who get this problem with Lucene can Google the solution :-) Con --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
