[pylucene-dev] PyLucene CherryPy threads conflict

[Pravin Shinde]

Hi,
I am using PyLucene as search engine for my application and CherryPy as my
web interface for my windows based application.
I have a problem that "I am not able to open PyLucene Index in write or
modify mode from within classes for CherryPy".

following is the call which fails if made by CherryPy But same call works
fine if it is made from normal python scripts getting executed directly.

writer = PyLucene.IndexWriter( "c:/index", PyLucene.StandardAnalyzer(),
True)
JavaError: java.lang.NullPointerException

I beleive that it is Threads problem, as CherryPy creates seperate threads
for handling each request.
I reffered the following "[pylucene-dev] PyLucene thread-safe?"  link

http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/pylucene-dev/2004-June/000037.h

Problem for me here is that, I am not creating threads on my own, but
CherryPy is doing it.

To solve this problem,  should modify the CherryPy code and use
PyLuceneThread instead of its normal thread ?
Or is there any other simple way out to inform the PyLucene boehm-gc
component of the java runtime - the garbage collector - about cherrypy
thread upon its creation?

Or is there any other way which will allow CherryPy threads to work fine
with PyLucene?

Thanx
