Index file location

[chetan deol]

I am getting

Cannot save index to 'index' directory, please delete it first

Where does lucene stores the index file.
I am unable to find index file location(I was successful for search), I have given the location "C:\Documents and Settings\upop>java org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexFiles D:\ss\db
_backup\lucene-2.4.1\src"

Second question ,

How lucene will search into the JSP pages if jsp pages are dependent on each other ,we may get Exception if the condition is not satisfied.

Can you help me in this case.

Lucene stores the index in the directory where you tell it to store it. Did you follow the instructions contained in the error message?

Do you mean "index" instead of "search"? It's important to keep those two aspects of Lucene usage apart.

Either your indexing code accesses JSP *files*, in which case there is no notion of dependencies (files do not depend on one another, at least not as far as Lucene is concerned), or it accesses HTML pages created by JSPs (in which case the file dependencies have been resolved at the server, and are irrelevant to the HTML that was generated).

I will explain the scenario in detail

If second JSP page is dependent on the first page and If in the search we get second jsp page address , and if we click on that JSP page then we may not get the expected result.

f second JSP page is dependent on the first page and If in the search we get second jsp page address , and if we click on that JSP page then we may not get the expected result.

Well then, is it a good idea to index JSP files - they usually contain java code, and generate content dynamically?
