Wanted to add some more details to my problem. I have many jars that have their own config files. So I'd have to copy files for every jar. Can solr read from the classpath (jar files)?
Yes my war is always deployed to the same location under webapps. I do already have solr/home defined in web.xml. I'll try copying my files into there, but I would have to extract every jar file and do this manually. ________________________________ From: "Wilkes, Chris" <cwil...@gmail.com> To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Wed, February 9, 2011 3:44:03 PM Subject: Re: solr current workding directory or reading config files Is your war always deployed the the same location, ie "/usr/mycomp/myapplication/webapps/myapp.war"? If so then on startup copy the files out of your directory and put them under CATALINA_BASE/solr (usr/mycomp/myapplication/solr) and in your war file have the META-INF/context.xml JNDI setting point to that. <Context> <Environment name="solr/home" type="java.lang.String" value="/usr/mycomp/myapplication/solr" override="true" /> </Context> If you know of a way to reference CATALINA_BASE in the context.xml that would make it easier.
