So, if you could do this with code it would be:getServletContext().getRealPath("/WEB-INF/classes/solr") Right?
Yes.
There isn't any system property for this kind of thing (since system properties are JVM-wide, and not specific to any particular webapp) so it would have to be, as you say, some kind of "magic" variable that you could use.
Are all properties JVM-wide? If I define a property in: webapps/someapp##1234/META-INF/context.xml Then that property is available to all applications? I didn't know that. If that's the case, then this approach will never work.
I don't believe such a variable exists. Since Solr is servlet context-aware application (i.e. it *is* webapp), is it possible to give it a path relative to the webapp itself? You might want to ask the Solr folks about this.
Sure. I can try there next, but any such solution is going to involve changing Solr code.
Another option, which I think is a better option, would be to locate solr/home outside of your deployment directory.
That is an option, but a very awkward one since then I have an application separated from the configuration which is an integral part of its functionality. This isn't some JDBC connection which differs in every deployment, but the configuration of exactly how the application works. So being able to keep it in our SCM with the code and deploy together is essential.
