: The new FieldValueSubsetUpdateProcessorFactory classes look phenomenal. I : haven't looked yet, but what are the chances these will be back-ported to : 3.6 (or how hard would it be to backport them?)... I'll have to check out : the source in more detail.
3.x is bug fix only as we now focus on 4.0 ... but these particular classes are fairly straight foward and isolated should be realtively easy for someoen with java knowledge to backport to 3.6 : If stuck on 3.6, what would be the best way to deal with this situation? : It's currently looking like it will have to be a custom update handler, but In this day and age, a custom update handler is almost never the right answer to a problem -- nor is a custom request handler that does updates (theose two things are actaully different) ... my advice is always to start by trying to impliment what you need as an UpdateRequestProcessor, and if that doesn't work out then refactor your code to be a Request Handler instead. -Hoss
