getIndexingConfigurationDOM from repository node itself

[Ard Schrijvers <a....@hippo.nl>]

Hello,

Does anybody know if it is possible (or a way) to access a repository
node that holds the indexing_configuration instead of using a
indexing_configuration.xml file? I can't seem to find how and if it can
be done. I would like the store the indexing_configuration in the
repository itself. I am not sure about the status of this thread [1]
which seems to be related, though I want to be able to access a
repository node during initialisation of the SearchIndex (and ofcourse
later on add an eventListener when the configuration changes)

Has anybody an idea wether this is possible? 

Regards Ard

For the record, it wasn't mine :-) Berry my colleague asked me to have
the indexing configuration available in the repository itself.

Yes, I had a similar idea to be able to configure a repository path
(though it would ofcourse be nice if something like "jcr:" was part of
the spec). Only thing is that I haven't yet found a way to be able to
get nodes from the repository during initialisation of the SearchIndex,
but Berry told me he knew more or less how to do this. 

Would you like this to be part of JackRabbit? I can file a JIRA issue
for it if you like?

that's a very interesting idea. Even though you can provide your own indexing 
configuration implementation you are currently bound to an xml file in the file 
system. but why not change that? we could make the configuration path property 
more intelligent, e.g. support paths like jcr:/location/in/my/workspace that 
point into the workspace.
