: Yes, it depends on the customization. What I had in mind was not just : formating changes, but adding additional content to the pages or adding a : new page. With servlets it can still be done. But then it will require : building Solr from source. A little more involved.
are you talking about clients adding their own modifcations to the pages (or new pages) when they install Solr? ... that would require unpacking the WAR and at that point we might as well ask them to recompile -- letting people specify a flat HTML file to include on the admin page is one thing, but if people want custom code in the admin pages expectingthem to recompile doesn't seem like much of a stretch. : : Bill : : On 8/29/06, Chris Hostetter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: : > : > : > : Leaving them as JSPs would make it easier to customize the admin pages. : > : > It depends on the customization.
