-----------------------------------

Hi Toke and all,

maybe I am a bit evil or stupid but could someone enlight me why this patch is 
necessary?

Why can't you we the existing mechanisms in Solr (facets!) and a bit logic 
while indexing:

http://markmail.org/message/2aza6nnsiw3l4bbb#query:+page:1+mid:3j3ttojacpjoyfg5+state:results

This has no performance problems when using tons of categories. We already 
using it with lots of categories. It works out of the box with a nearly 
infinity depth (either you need a DB -> 
unlimited or the URL length is the limit).

The only drawback of this approach is that you won't be able to display two or 
more 'branches' at the same time. Only one current branch with the current 
possible categories is possible, which is no limitation in our case. Because 
the UI would be unusable if too many items would be visible at the same time.

One could introduce a special update component for this feature which uses a 
category tree (in RAM) built from the json or xml definition. I could create 
such a component if someone is interested.

Regards,
Peter.
