Re: Lucene & Java

Hello everyone,

I have a small but persisting problem.  I wrote .jsp code that
implements Lucene to do some very basic searching.  There were some
problems that I'm fairly certain were a result of the fact that I was
running the thing through Tomcat, so I tried translating the code to
straight java.

When the code was in .jsp form it compiled fine and ran (up to a point
where it crashed, but that's beside the point).  In java, it doesn't
seem to be able to pick up the location of a bunch of jar files -
these, to be exact:

import javax.servlet.http.*;
import org.apache.lucene.analysis.*;
import org.apache.lucene.document.*;
import org.apache.lucene.index.*;
import org.apache.lucene.search.*;
import org.apache.lucene.queryParser.*;
import org.apache.lucene.demo.*;
import org.apache.lucene.demo.html.Entities;

I don't understand why the .jsp would compile without errors but the
.java would not.  I'm exasperated, I've gone so far as to create my own
jar file containing the .class files that came with Lucene (e.g.
<lucene-directory>/org/apache/lucene/analysis, etc.), and adding that
to the CLASSPATH.  Any help would be appreciated here.  Thanks in
advance.


Have you checked to see if you have J2EE installed along with the JDK? It contains the javax.servlet classes, and Tomcat uses J2EE from its install to do its compilation.
Can you compile normal servlets in "straight java"?
