Description

ATM, you can provide an indexing configuration file via <SearchIndex> configuration like

<param name="indexingConfiguration" value="path-to-indexing-configuration-file"/>.

Also see:

1) http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/IndexingConfiguration
2) http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/Search.

the 'path-to-indexing-configuration-file' currently must be a file in the file system. Support for a indexing configuration which resides in the repository itself by enabling some path protocol like jcr://location/in/workspace in the configuration. Specifically for war deployment configuration files in the repository itself might be very useful.

Perhaps adding an EventListener for instant re-configuration when the indexing configuration changes might be nice as well, though some (most) changes in the indexing configuration might require re-indexing, which would be bad to start automatically obviously.
