I have a simple WAR based web application that uses lucene created
indexes to provide search results in a xml format, the location of
the indexes (outside of the war) are referred in the web.xml.
It works fine locally but I want to deploy it using Elastic
Beanstalk within Amazon Webservices but for it to work I need the
data files within the war, then I can allow EB to create new
instances when load balancing/scaling and it will work because the
data fields are included in the war at deployment time. I have
checked that EB does unjar the war so that when my code comes to
use the files they will be real files not still contained within
the War.
With that in mind where could i put the data files so they not
considered by tomcat as java classes , and supplementary question
how do I modify my pom file to do this with maven
What?
Java won't try to load random files as .class files.
I tried putting the files into the resources directory of my maven
project, when I deployed the resulting war it would start (did
previously) and opening the war found the files were added under
WEB-INF/classes, that is what I meant. So I need to put them somewhere else.
Are you launching Lucene from within the startup process of your
webapp? I don't see any support for loading Lucene indexes from within
a ZIP file (e.g. WAR, JAR) so you might have to bootstrap the
following when deploying:
1. Know where your files are within the WAR
2. In a ServletContextListener -- perhaps the one that actually
sets-up Lucene -- do the following:
a. Unpack each file of your index into ${tmpdir}/lucene (or whatever)
b. Configure Lucene with an IndexReader that looks at ${tmpdir}/lucene
3. Clean-up after yourself during undeploy
Actually I don't have a startup process as such, the first user request
will just do a search which will cause the index to be accessed. But
perhaps a startup proces is what is what I need. The data files are
stored in amazon s3 so perhaps i could use servlet init to get the s3
file and put it somewhere relative to the deployed app and then use.
