[Php-java-bridge-users] Java bridge and Lucene persistance

[<php...@li...>]

Hi, I'm using the php java bridge and lucene to search for documents. What I'm finding is that any speed gains that I've obtained from lucene are greatly outweighed by the time it takes to get the java bridge .war (and apache lucene .jar in /lib/) from Tomcat with each and every browser-based search request.

Indexing uses node.js, edge and lucene.net, but I can't use that combination on my internet-facing server.

I'm thinking of writing a tcp server in php, running that from a command line, and sending queries to that server, so that lucene will always be readily-available. However – especially with being new to this – I wonder if there are other ways of gaining persistence?

Many thanks for a great project!
