Custom information in schema.xml

[Nikhil Chhaochharia]

Hi,

I am using SolrJ and the latest build of Solr 1.3
I want to add some custom information to schema.xml and then access it from 
within my application.

Ideally, I would like to enhance the field definitions in schema.xml to 
something like

        < field name="state" type="text" displaylevel="private" />

and then be able to access the displaylevel value from my application.

Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks,
Nikhil
