Hello, >> *sorry* for previous mail, sometimes shortkeys are not that helpful... >> Thanks for that hint, Otis. Digester is a very comfortable way to customize the indexing of xml using lucene. And it works fine except one thing: According to the example in the article is set the addDocument (here: addRecord) method when reading the last element: // call 'addContact' method when the next 'oaidc:dc' pattern is seen digester.addSetNext(("oaidc:dc", "addRecord"); but as each file contains only one opening tag (and not as in the example: on adressbook-file contains various contact elements), how do i decide when to call the addRecord method? i tried empty String and null, but it didnīt work. is there a posibility to tell Digester what to to at endoffile? Thanks a lot !
