: but as soon as I edit schema.xml in any of the cores and restart tomcat..and : view schema file in schema browser of solr admin, it doesn't reflect the : changes.
are you sure you are editing hte right schema.xml file? what is the absolute path of the file you are editing? when you look at the admin console for a specific core, what does it say on a line that should look like this at the top of the page... cwd=/some/path SolrHome=/some/other/path -Hoss
