Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-1449: ------------------------------------ bq. repalces the ClassLoader with a new one where the parent is fixed on the previous classloader I'm not a classloading expert... but couldn't this cause things to work differently by changing the order of the <lib> statements? > solrconfig.xml syntax to add classpath elements from outside of instanceDir > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-1449 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1449 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Hoss Man > Fix For: 1.4 > > Attachments: SOLR-1449.patch > > > the idea has been discussed numerous times that it would be nice if there was > a way to configure a core to load plugins from specific jars (or "classes" > style directories) by path w/o needing to copy them to the "./lib" dir in > the instanceDir. > The current workaround is "symlinks" but that doesn't really help the > situation of the Solr Release artifacts, where we wind up making numerous > copies of jars to support multiple example directories (you can't have > reliable symlinks in zip files) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
