: I'm having a problem with this idea. It seems that what you include with : XInclude can only be a single XML element, not "big chunks" as I had hoped. : If you have more than one, it dies. It took running it through xmllint to : figure out why, the Solr exception was not informative. This will make it : choke if included in a single file:
First off: all of the files need to be wellformed XML, or the XML parser will complain before Solr ever even gets a chance at a good error message. Second: in order to include the sub-elements of the root tag from your included file, w/o including the root element itself (ie: so you can have a bunch of request handlers declared in an XML file with an arbitrary root tag to make the file well formed) i think you need to use the xpointer option when doing the XInclude. Here's an example in the XInclude docs... http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/#fragment-example ...i suspect you want something like... <xi:include href="handlers.xml" xpointer="//requestHandler" /> where handlers.xml looks like... <anyThingYouWant> <requestHandler name="/update" class="solr.XmlUpdateRequestHandler" /> <requestHandler name="/update/javabin" class="solr.BinaryUpdateRequestHandler" /> <requestHandler name="/analysis/document" class="solr.DocumentAnalysisRequestHandler" /> <requestHandler name="/analysis/field" class="solr.FieldAnalysisRequestHandler" /> <requestHandler name="/update/csv" class="solr.CSVRequestHandler" startup="lazy" /> <requestHandler name="/admin/" class="org.apache.solr.handler.admin.AdminHandlers" /> </anyThingYouWant> -Hoss
