I hate asking stupid questions immediately after joining a mailing list, but I'm in a bit of a pinch here.
I'm using Solr/Tomcat for a Ruby on Rails project (acts_as_solr) and I've had a lot of success getting it working -- for English. The problem I'm running into is that our primary customers are actually Japanese. I've done the searching around, and found the thread back in June about using Lucene's CJKAnalyzer and CJKTokenizer, but apparently I need to write my own factor or something. It looks like it's only three lines of Java code, and I can cut & paste with the best of them. Here's the problem: I know zip, zilch, zero about Java. I just hate the language with an absolute passion. The reason I went with Solr (besides the fact it's pretty much the only real game going) is that I could avoid the Java parts by directly dealing with its XML, JSON and Ruby interfaces. So I'm wondering if there are any "Adding CJKTokenizer to Solr for Dummies" guides out there someone can point me to, to tell me, pretty much step-by-step, what I need to do to get this configured. I saw something about unpacking the solr.war and repacking it, but, since I know dinkus about Java, that really didn't mean a whole lot to me, even though I'm guessing it's probably a grand total of four commands at the unix prompt. :) .Paul Paul Clegg, Principal Software Engineer My Digital Life, Inc.
