: I've updated the docs. I'm not quite sure what the setter and getter of : pathPrefix are good for though, as the setting comes from the init-param, and : that setter is never called. Seems like we could remove the setter/getter : altogether, unless someone has a case where the Filter would be manipulated by : the API rather than web.xml configuration.
i've never used it, it was added for SOLR-149 ... i'm guessing so subclasses could call it. alternately: i believe some spring-ish type servlet containers have configuration extenstions to let you call setters directly on servlets and filters like this (Jetty for example) -Hoss
