I am on 3.6 and this is my setup: Properties file under <solr.home>, so right under /jetty/solr solr.xml modified as follows:
<core name="corename" instanceDir="instancedir" properties="../solrcore.properties" /> http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin#property - the path is relative to instancedir Your syntax is correct in DIH, I think all you are missing is the reference to the property file in solr.xml. -----Original Message----- From: Dariusz Borowski [mailto:darius...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2013 10:38 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Reading properties in data-import.xml Thanks Alexandre! I followed your example and created a solrcore.properties in <solr.home>/conf/solrcore.properties. I created a symlink in my core/conf to the solrcore.properties file, but I can't read the properties. My properties file: username=myusername password=mypassword My data-import.xml: <dataSource type="JdbcDataSource" driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://${host}:3306/projectX" user="${username}" password="${password}" /> Is the syntax correct?
