: Rather than reinventing wheels here, I think that fronting the conf/ : directory with a WebDAV server would be a great way to go. I'm not : familiar with the state-of-the-art of WebDAV servers these days but : there might be something pretty trivial that can be configured in Tomcat : to do this? Or maybe some servlet (or .war) that can be installed?
right, this idea has come up a couple times i nthe past and the concensus was that "uploading config files" wasn't something we should role our own code for -- if there's a nice WAR out there to manage this that we can include in the example jetty setup then i'm totally +1, but i don't really think it belongs embedded in the solr.war. -Hoss
