Hi everyone,

I'm working on a project that involves writing a new data adapter for 
Sesat to allow federation from an Endeca index 
(http://www.endeca.com/products-information-access-platform.htm). Mick 
has been helping me one-on-one with getting a local instance of Sesat up 
and running, but I'll direct my next question to all of you.

Endeca already has a Java API, so the makeup of the search command will 
be similar to SolrSearchCommand and its related components. However, 
rather than adding the Endeca libraries and our search command into the 
project and building them together, we'd like to be able to compile our 
search command and config externally so it can be dropped into a Sesat 
deployment. Ideally, we'd be adding a jar in the Tomcat container and 
(through the existing naming lookup) referring to the classes in the 
modes.xml of our skin. Is this possible? The nuances of the build 
process are still a mystery to me, so I'm not sure how modular the 
search commands are.

Could someone also give me more details on the lookup between modes.xml 
and the search configuration classes? Mick had mentioned there is a 
naming lookup from the *-command element names to the configuration 
classes, but we haven't been able to find it.

Thanks in advance for any answers or general advice you can give me!
-VJ
