use absolute, it is easiest. if you use relative your implementation will
rely on what dir the program is started from..

absolutely absolute path as you might never know where your webapp-container
will place your webapp. On tomcat it's relatively easy as it will be in the
same directory as your .war file. but on say jboss the container will place
your webapp a totally other place.

your webapp might find the placement of the webapp in the container by using
the "getServletContext().getRealPath("");" function. but this path is
ofcourse not know for you when you create the index on command line....

did you follow the instructions in the getting started guide?

You'll need to do this in such a way that the index entries stored
happen to be the same as realtive to lucene... the easiest thing to do
is to do this from a context under webapp and go against ..

For the index, put it anywhere you like...suggest it not be accessible
via tomcat. Make sure you tell the webapp where to find it in the
configuration jsp.
