The difference is SharePoint 2010, which disabled a number of key features that were necessary for crawling. For SharePoint 2010, the plugin is indeed mandatory.

When I was using ManfoldCF version 0.6, I tried defining repository connections and crawling documents on them by running jobs without installing anything on the SharePoint server. I thought I was just using the connector *mcf-sharepoint-connector.jar *which is one the machine running ManifoldCF and I was of the assumption that, I will be able to crawl documents on any SharePoint server, for which I have got access permissions. I was of the opinion that I don't have to be a SharePoint administrator and also I don't have to install anything on the SharePoint server. But looking at this plug-in, I think I have been of a wrong opinion. Can you please clarify if installation of these web services on the SharePoint server is mandatory, just for being able to crawl them and index into Solr ? Why is it different from the connector I was using in ManifoldCF 0.6 ? Thanks and Regards, Swapna.
