How to get the solrhome location dynamically

["Radha C." <cr...@ceiindia.com>]

Hello List,
 
I am having trouble in identifying the xml location which is exist inside
solrhome, I am having the input xml at $solrhome/inputdata/example.xml, 
Can anyone have idea about how to get solrhome location dynamically by using
any solrj API class? Any help will be greatly appriciated.

Do you really want the Solr Home Dir, or do you want the instanceDir for a 
specific SolrCore?

If you're using a solr.xml file (ie: one or many cores), you can get hte 
instanceDir for each core from the CoreAdminHandler -- but it doesn't 
expost the actual SolrHomeDir where the solr.xml file was found.

If you aren't using a solr.xml file (ie: you definitely only have one 
core) you can get the instance dir from the SystemInfoRequestHandler 
(/admin/system in the example configs) ... and since you aren't using a 
solr.xml file, the instance dir is the same as the Solr Home Dir.


(Hmmmm... I suppose the CoreAdminHandler should probably expose metadta 
about the CoreContainer ... anyone want to work up a patch?)
