Does anyone have any examples of modifying a configuration file, like
"elevate.xml" from a browser? Is there an API that would help for this?

If nothing exists for this, I am considering implementing something that
would change the "elevate.xml" file then reload the core. Or is there a
better approach for dynamic configuration?

Thank you.

There is no API. Upload and restart the core is the way to go.

+1 Good idea! I was thinking to write a web interface to change contents for
elevate.xml and feed back to Solr core.

Brandon,

actually afaik there is no ability to to this, not via API or something
else.

If you really want to start building such an API, would you mind to
build an generic one? I'm asking because this was already requested as
feature for the new admin UI

Rather than reinventing wheels here, I think that fronting the conf/ directory with a WebDAV server would be a great way to go.  I'm not familiar with the state-of-the-art of WebDAV servers these days but there might be something pretty trivial that can be configured in Tomcat to do this?  Or maybe some servlet (or .war) that can be installed?

Though not with webdav (which is underdefined to my taste and seems only to be working with common implementations such as mod_dav), I had success with jFM (I used version 0.95):
http://java.net/projects/jfm

maybe that helps?

jFM sounds good... I have written a little stand-alone Servlet that
reads in the XML/TXT Solr configuration files using Apache Commons IO,
outputs the current content for editing and writes it back to the file
system and after that I fire a CURL request from my (PHP based)
administration panel to reload the core...

right, this idea has come up a couple times i nthe past and the concensus
was that "uploading config files" wasn't something we should role our own
code for -- if there's a nice WAR out there to manage this that we can
include in the example jetty setup then i'm totally +1, but i don't really
think it belongs embedded in the solr.war.
