Hi,
I think a "/browse" type of experience is crucial for newcomers to quickly get
familiar with Solr.
Whether it's Velocity based, AJAX based or another technology is less important.
I personally like VRW and frequently use it as the first step in prototyping in
a project. I've also contributed

Oh gosh... there's no "argument" at all. I dig Velocity (and other things),
and I'm cool with folks not liking it or not (and you like it, so it seems).
I'm not sure I get what you mean by the testability though. Could you clarify?

Erik,
The /browse UI pages have definitely gotten a bit long in the tooth, to
the point that it's a maintenance nightmare IMO. Perhaps it was inevitable
given the nature of the technology; it would be the same situation with
JSP/ASP/PHP. FWIW, in my experience with Endeca (a Solr competitor) the
Erik,
don't argue with me about Velocity, I'm using it several hours a day in XWiki.
It's fast and easy but its testing ability is simply... unpredictable.
I did not mean to say it is not documented enough but that it could be
reformulated as a tutorial wiki page instead of an example software.

Thanks for your feedback.
As for JSP... the problem with JSP's is that they must be inside the .war file
and that is prohibitive for the flexibility of adjusting the vm files to
"create links to the right resource" easily. Certainly choice templating

Erik,
The VelocityResponseWriter has solved a need by me: provide an interface that
shows off an amount of the solr capability with queries close to a developer
and a UI that you can mail to colleagues.
The out-of-the-box-ness is crucial here.
Adjust the vm files was also crucial (e.g. to creat
