New page:
= Solr Plugins =

The first thing to know if you are interested in hacking and customizing Solr, 
is that you may not need to customize the source at all.  Solr has a fairly 
extensive number of [:SolrPlugin:Plugin Hooks] that allow you to add custom 
functionality for a variety of purposes by developing against some simple APIs, 
and then use your plugins by placing your jar in a special "lib" directory and 
refering to them by name in your configuration file.

= web.xml Hacks =

Some behavior of Solr can be modified just by changing the 
[http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/solr/trunk/src/webapp/web/WEB-INF/web.xml?view=markup
 web.xml]

== Customizing the Path Prefix Solr Intercepts ==

If you are wiring Solr into a larger web application which controls the web 
context root, you will probably want to mount Solr under a path prefix (app.war 
with /app/solr mounted into it, for example). You will need to specify a prefix 
init-param for the !SolrDispatchFilter to do this.  See the comments in the 
web.xml for details.

== Hardcoding Solr Home  ==

The Solr Home can be hardcoded using JNDI
{{{
 <env-entry>
    <env-entry-name>solr/home</env-entry-name>
    <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
    <env-entry-value>/put/your/solr/home/here</env-entry-value>
</env-entry>
}}}


= Embedding Solr =

In addition to using Solr as a web based application, the SolrJ API provides 
the apility to embedded the core Solr functionality into any Java application 
using [:Solrj#EmbeddedSolrServer:EmbeddedSolrServer].
