: I asked a question similar to this back in : http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-solr-user/200709.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
: SolrDispatchFilter and stored in the global Config). This way, I can : have a multiple instances of Solr up and running with the exact same : configuration, and their indices contained wholly within their : deployment directories. As i mentioned in that thread (and i don't think you ever replied) this seems like a really bad idea ... anytime you want to upgrade Solr, your configs and data all get completely blown away. I think if people want to reuse the same configs multiple times with only small varaitions (for things like the dataDir) it makes a lot more sense to add support for variable substitution based on JNDI variables... : : I actually have a patch for solr config parser which allows you to use : : context environment variables in the solrconfig.xml : : I generally use it for development when I'm working with multiple : : instances and different data dirs. I'll add it to jira today if you : : want it. -Hoss
