    Description

      Instead of 'qt' being handled by the SolrDispatchFilter (a Servlet Filter), it would be better implemented as a request handler, with a suggested name of DispatchingRequestHandler. This is better because:

      • it keeps the servlet filter more focused / simplified (albeit just a little)
      • it simplifies solrconfig.xml by removing/deprecating handleSelect="true". 'qt' is less magic, it works more explicitly.
      • if you don't want to use 'qt' dispatch, simply don't use DispatchingRequestHandler
      • DispatchingRequestHandler would get used by EmbeddedSolrServer but SolrDispatchFilter is not.
