I am wondering anyone will find it helpful? Yes, that would be handy, as lots of people have applications that use both Lucene and a RDBMS and use various tricks to keep the two in sync. If an application uses Hibernate, then one can make use of various Hibernate interceptors and use them to trigger operations on an external Lucene index. I know at least one application that does something similar (see my .signature). Otis . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Simpy -- http://www.simpy.com/ -- Find it. Tag it.
