Yiguang,
I'm glad Peter was able to give you the right answer regarding the  
placement of the modules and also of their indexes.

I'm concerned that JSword is running via tomcat as root. This appears  
to give JSword root permissions. Not a good idea.

Alternatively, if you can set the Java properties user.home,  
sword.home or jsword.home, you can influence where JSword looks for  
it's files.
user.home is where JSword thinks the user's home directory is.
sword.home is where JSword thinks the user's writable module directory  
is.
jsword.home is where JSword thinks the user's writable program  
directory is.
If the latter two are not defined or are not writable, then JSword  
will use a platform dependent determination of the module and program  
homes.

On Unix, it would be ~/.sword and ~/.jsword respectively.

As Peter noted, JSword is exceptionally good at finding many SWORD  
module directories.

The SWORD architecture has the index co-located with the module's  
files. We didn't do this because in many cases these locations are  
shared and not writable. So we put them in the JSword writable area.  
Because Lucene (in Java) is so far ahead of CLucene and because JSword  
uses different analyzers, JSword and SWORD cannot use each others  
indexes.

I'm not sure what you mean by "to get the index build may be through  
standalone java program"? Do you need a fragment to explain how to  
build an index? Or do you want to use BibleDesktop to build the index  
then manually copy it to where it needs to be?

In Him,
	DM
