Move VelocityResponseWriter from contrib/ to core
-------------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-1957
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1957
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Task
Components: Response Writers
Affects Versions: 1.4
Reporter: Erik Hatcher
Assignee: Erik Hatcher
Priority: Minor
The VelocityResponseWriter deserves to be a first-class citizen in Solr, and
not tacked on. The benefit is that UI can be generated right from Solr cleanly
and easily via simple templating. The longer term goal is to migrate from the
Solr admin interface from inflexible built-in JSPs to a cleaner layout Velocity
set of templates that can be overridden externally if desired (for styling, or
adding in plugin UI).
Another large benefit to having VrW in core is that plugins can then ship with
Velocity templates in their own .jar files to provide their own bits of UI or
templated response capabilities (text fragments or full HTML responses).
The impact of this change is a slightly larger solr.war with the additional
Velocity dependencies added-in.
