: I could be wrong, but I think you can send a "delete by query" syntax: : <delete><query>*:*</query></delete>
correct ... deleting *:* followed by doing an <optimize/> should be functionally equivilent to stoping the servlet container, removing the directory and starting the sorl container ... but it won't be quite as efficient. if someone wants to open a Jira issue for supporting a <delete><all/></delete> command (or even just a special case optimization when <delete><query>*:*</query></delete> is used) I'm certianly in favor of the idea ... getting a patch to implement it is another matter :) -Hoss
