Chantal -
You'll have to copy the configuration to your various handlers.
However, with the VelocityResponseWriter, you can use your existing
handlers and simply set wt=velocity on them by default, or set it from
the client with &wt=velocity appended to the query string. The
VelocityResponseWriter will look for templates based on the request
handler name (qt parameter), so <requestHandler name="dismax"> with
wt=velocity will default to looking for a dismax.vm template for
rendering.

Dear all,
happy New Year!
For my custom searchHandler (called /list) that uses the
VelocityResponseWriter I would like to use the existing dismax
configuration. Therefore I did NOT specify ANY dismax configuration
in that custom handler.
In short: it's not using (my existing) dismax at all, as it seems.
It only returns results for no parameters, using q.alt=*:* (defined
in solrconfig.xml), or for q=field:value (even if dismax is default,
and qt is missing).
Question: Is there a way to reference the existing dismax handler
(=avoid copying of the existing configuration)?
(I couldn't find anything helpful in the wiki or the mailing lists.
Maybe it's too obvious...?)
What I tried and did not work is the "qt" parameter. (This probably
also requires it's own dismax configuration). Other variants of
configuration I have marked with brackets in the pasted config below.
Thanks for your time!
