Strange bug in full text search - doesn't work outside JBoss directory

[ericjava.eric.chiralsoftware.net]

There is a strange bug in full text search.  First, I will say that JBoss is not easy to deploy in a normal way on a Linux server.  I wrote a long article about JBoss deployment on Ubuntu.

Anyway, the most sensible thing is to put the deploys apps outside of the jboss installation directory, so that if I want to upgrade jboss-as, I can leave all my apps in place.  Often apps are installed in a location like /srv/jboss/...

Unfortunately, there is a strange bug where this makes it impossible to get a FullTextEntityManager, and therefore any app which relies on that cannot be installed in such a way.  It must be installed in the JBoss directory.

This is very easily repeatable and is clearly a bug, and a serious one at that.  Does anyone have any input on this?

Thanks.

What exactly is full text search and what does it have to do with Seam?  Are you referring to Hibernate Search (Lucene)??

Good point, I am referring to Lucene and the FullTextEntityManager.  Should I bring this up with the Hibernate team?  I guess Hibernate search is integrated and documented within Seam so that's why I posted here, but it may not be the right place.

It's just a very strange behavior.
