My solution to get it to work, was this in Resin: <host id="" root-directory=".">
<env-entry> <env-entry-name>solr/home</env-entry-name> <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type> <env-entry-value>/solr1</env-entry-value> </env-entry> so it can find the config. thx, .V ps: (one day I might venture to replace the solr.client xml centric protocol w/ hessian)
