I personally find editing the schema.xml to be the best option, but I have not actually used the Schema API. At the point in my deployment where I was making frequent schema edits (mostly on 1.4 versions, with some of it on 3.x versions), the API did not exist. The information about this API in the reference guide looks pretty nice. > PS: What do you mean by "XY problem"? This is summarized here: https://home.apache.org/~hossman/#xyproblem Thanks, Shawn
