[jsword-devel] Recent Updates

[Keith Ralston]

For people that want faster access the next step would be to download books
and indexes as required. This is where URLs could come in.

The URL would give you access to the file for download.  Once local, the
search objects would be working against a local file.

If the searches were run over a distributed connection, the search objects
would be running against text files that are local to them.

I guess I am asking if you plan to run searches across the network (i.e.,
the search objects are loaded in one machine's memory while the text files
reside on another machine's disk system?)

Just curious.  I'll check in my changes this afternoon.

Yup.
It would be fairly easy to write a SoapBook or a CORBABook etc.
