Hi Robert, The upcoming 4.4 release should make this a bit easier (you can check out the release branch now if you like, or wait a few days for the official version). CoreContainer now takes a SolrResourceLoader and a ConfigSolr object as constructor parameters, and you can create a ConfigSolr object from a string representation of solr.xml using the ConfigSolr.fromString() static method.
