Dear Lucene users, I have implemented a custom tokenizer (derived from TokenStream).
I need to pass additional attributes to those standard in Lucene (PositionIncrementAttribute, OffsetAttribute), that would represent the word position in the tokenized sentence in the number of words and not characters, as one usually passes through OffsetAttribute. (I need both.) Is there a way of achieving this? I tried to implement own Attribute class (derive a new interface and implementing class). The code compiles ok but I am getting exception at runtime about the class casting. Thank you a lot in advance, MK
