Clearing the index

Is it possible to configure jackrabbit to reindex the repository at
startup?



I know I could force this to happen by deleting the index files, but I
would prefer not to do this manually or add more duplicate configuration
to my application. I use an in memory repository that I import data
into, but the data in the old index is still around.



If all else fails, I'll have to duplicate some configuration and delete
the files before I start the repo.



Thanks,



Jared

No, there is no configuration or API for deleting the index. But it's
a simple "rm -rf <workspace-path>/index".

I found a way to do it automatically without duplicating configuration
(in case anyone is interested):

Extend from SearchIndex and override the doInit method (update the
repository and workspace configuration accordingly). Delete/Rename the
index directories (specified by the path variable) and then call
super.doInit. If the files are missing, the index files will be
recreated.

Note: This will only work on startup of the app.

If anyone sees a flaw in this, let me know.
