[opencms-dev] What's wrong with this search script?

[Joe Desbonnet]

Uwe,

Thanks for the code. Unfortunately it behaves exactly like my own
script -- it only works while logged into the CMS and Site set to "/".

I'm not the only person who has encountered this problem: see this post
http://mail.opencms.org/pipermail/opencms-dev/2005q3/018191.html
Unfortunately there were no followups to that post.

I'm assuming that search JSP scripts are like any other JSP and can be
located anywhere within a website. Or is there something special about
search scripts? Eg do have have to be located in /system/modules/....
?  Or maybe this is some sort of permissions issue?

I think I'll continue to develop my own frontend to the OpenCms Lucene
index -- as I'm fresh out of ideas.

BTW: here excerpts of my search config in case I've done anything
stupid there. As mentioned above, the index *is* being generated.
(Software configuration is OpenCms version 6.0.2, Tomcat 5.5.9, jdk
1.5.0 on Linux).

index config:
<index>
<name>JHL</name>
<rebuild>auto</rebuild>
<project>Online</project>
<locale>en</locale>
<sources><source>jhlSource</source></sources>
</index>

here is the indexsource:
<indexsource>
<name>jhlSource</name>
<indexer class="org.opencms.search.CmsVfsIndexer" />
<resources>
<resource>/sites/JHL/</resource>
</resources>
<documenttypes-indexed>
<name>xmlpage</name>
 ... [stuff deleted for brevity] ...
</documenttypes-indexed>
</indexsource>

Thanks,
Joe.
