Thanks for the replies. The problem I'm trying to solve is to automate whatever steps I can in configuring Solr for our customer. Rather than an admin have to edit schema.xml, I thought it would be easier and less error-prone to do it programmatically. But I'm a novice, so if there is a better, more standard way, please let me know. Thanks!!!
