Hi all,
the environment variable (env-entry) in web.xml to configure the
solr/home is relative to the web server's working directory. I find this
unusual as all the servlet paths are relative to the web applications
directory (webapp context, that is). So, I specified solr/home relative
to the web app dir, as well, at first.
I think it makes deployment in an unknown environment, or in different
environments using a simple war more complex than it needed to be. If a
webapp relative path inside the war file could be used, the
configuration of solr (and cores) could be included in the war file
completely with no outside dependency - except, of course, of the data
directory if that is to go some place else.
(In my case, I want to deliver the solr web application including a
custom entity processor, so that is why I want to include the solr war
as part of my release cycle. It is easier to deliver that to the system
administration than to provide them with partial packages they have to
install into an already installed war, imho.)
Am I the only one who has run into that?
Thanks for any input on that!
