Lucene 3.6, java 1.6 I get the following: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.lucene.index.DirectoryReader$MultiTermDocs.doc(DirectoryReader.ja va:1179)
when running this code: IndexReader reader = this.getReader(index); int d = -1; TermDocs td = reader.termDocs(this.createIdTerm(id)); if(td != null) { td.next(); d = td.doc(); } private Term createIdTerm(String id) { return new Term(Constants.DEFAULT_ID_FIELD, id); } At the time this code runs I would expect that td would be null since there are no documents in the index that match the term, but that is not the case. Instead I get the NPE when trying td.doc(). I can wrap the code in a try/catch for that line, but I think there must be a better way to determine if I got any matches for a Term. Edward W.
