Hi, I have an application with an embedded Solr instance (and I want to keep it embedded) and so far I have been setting up my Solr installation programmatically using folder paths to specify where the specific container or core configs are.
I have used the CoreContainer methods createAndLoad and create using File arguments and this works fine. However, now I want to change this so that all configuration files are loaded from certain locations using the classloader but I have not been able to get this to work. E.g. I want to have my solr config located in the classpath at my/base/package/solr/conf and the core configs at my/base/package/solr/cores/core1/conf, my/base/package/solr/cores/core2/conf etc.. Is this possible at all? Looking through the source code it seems that specifying classpath resources in such a qualified way is not supported but I may be wrong. I could get this to work for the container by supplying my own implementation of SolrResourceLoader that allows a base path to be specified for the resources to be loaded (I first thought that would happen already when specifying instanceDir accordingly but looking at the code it does not. for resources loaded through the classloader, instanceDir is not prepended). However then I am stuck with the loading of the cores' resources as the respective code (see org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer#createFromLocal) instantiates a SolResourceLoader internally. Thanks for any help with this (be it a clarification that it is not possible). Robert
