Hi, I am working on a struts application using lucene for indexing mysql database. Whenever I rebuild the application and deploy in tomcat and try to rebuild the index from scratch I have to shutdown tomcat and then restart it again. In case I don't do this I get IOException while creating instance of IndexWriter
indexWriter = new IndexWriter(indexDir, new PhoneticAnalyzer(new Soundex()), true); Stack Trace is as follows:- java.io.IOException: Cannot delete _1d.fdt at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.create(FSDirectory.java:195) at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.init(FSDirectory.java:176) at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.getDirectory(FSDirectory.java:141) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter.<init>(IndexWriter.java:225) I feel its due to some stale lock file in the temp folder of #tomcat_home#. How do I get rid of this file without having to shutdown the tomcat. I am sorry if this is a repeated question. Thanks in advance, --Kiran --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
