how is the SOLR Service instantiated in DSpace

Question

I would appreciate if someone could point me to the way/mechanism used to instantiate the SOLR Service in Dspace 1.8.x. From the configuration dspace.cfg or spring, or conf/modules to the actual registration and instantiation mechanism.

Many thanks,

Daniel

I'm not sure what you mean by "instantiated". You need to deploy the solr webapp; communication with Solr is then done by talking to Solr via http.
