Hi,
yesterday I tried the Solr-1.3-RC2 and everything seems to work fine using the
traditional single-core setup. But while troubleshooting the new multi-core
feature, I realized for the first time, that I have been using the deprecated
(even in 1.2) class SolrServlet. This is a huge problem for us, as we run the
solr-web-app parallel to our main web-app in the same servlet-container. Using
this approach we can internally forward update- and select-requests to the
Solr-instance currently in use.
ServletContext ctx = getServletContext().getContext("solr1");
RequestDispatcher rd = ctx.getNamedDispatcher("SolrServer");
rd.forward(request, response);
As you can see, this approach only works for the servlet named 'SolrServer'
which references the deprecated class.
The attempt of using a path based dispatcher (ctx.getRequestDispatcher) was not
successful, even though I configured the SolrRequestFilter in the solr-web.xml
to work on forwards (<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>), which the documentation
discourages. Maybe this is because of the cross-context-dispatch?
At the moment I ran totally out of ideas, apart from completely redesigning our
whole setup. Any ideas are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Björn
