XMLparser drops user boosting
-----------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-3347
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3347
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.1
            Reporter: moogie
            Priority: Minor


The lucene XML parser seems to convert user defined boosting back to default 
1.0 and thus boosting value is dropped from the query...

e.g.

<BooleanQuery>
        <Clause occurs="must">
                <BooleanQuery>
                        <Clause occurs="should">
                                <UserQuery fieldName="Vehicle.Colour">red^66 
blue~^8</UserQuery>
                        </Clause>
                </BooleanQuery>
        </Clause>
        <Clause occurs="should">
                <BooleanQuery>
                        <Clause occurs="should">
                                <UserQuery 
fieldName="Vehicle.Colour">black^0.01</UserQuery>
                        </Clause>
                </BooleanQuery>
        </Clause>
</BooleanQuery>

produces a lucene query: +( ( Vehicle.Colour:red^66 Vehicle.Colour:blue~0.5^8 ) 
) ( Vehicle.Colour:black )

The expected query : +( ( Vehicle.Colour:red^66 Vehicle.Colour:blue~0.5^8 ) ) ( 
Vehicle.Colour:black^0.01 )

I have developed a work around by modifying line 77 of 
UserInputQueryBuilder.java 

from:

q.setBoost(DOMUtils.getAttribute(e,"boost",1.0f));

to:

q.setBoost( DOMUtils.getAttribute( e, "boost", q.getBoost() ) );
