System Properties for Configuration

[Alexander Saar <al...@mindquarry.com>]

Hello,
I patched org.apache.solr.core.Config in order to allow references to 
system properties within the Solr config file (like {$prop.name}).

I think is will be helpful when somebody downloads Solr as a WAR archive 
and just want to put it into a servelt container without extracting it 
and changing the config file by hand.

If anybody else wants to have this, I'll supply the according patch to 
the JIRA.

Regars,
Alex

This sounds useful to me, but i'm confused by this statement...

: I think is will be helpful when somebody downloads Solr as a WAR archive

: and changing the config file by hand.

The solr.war doesn't need to be manually extrated to change the
solrconfig.xml (or hte schema.xml) because they don't live i nteh war
itself ... so i think i must be missing something about your motivation
for this change.
