I always, always have a web application running that accepts the JavaScript
AJAX call and then forwards it on to the Apache Solr request handler. Even
if you don't control the web application, and can only add JavaScript, you
can put up a API oriented webapp somewhere that only protects Solr for a
thank you very much. Alex. You reply is very informative and I really
appreciate it. I hope I would be able to help others in this forum like you
are in the future.

Most of the javascript frameworks (AngularJS, etc) allow to post
information back to the server. If you use gmail or yahoo mail or
anything else, it's a javascript that lets you send a message.
So, if you completely trust your users, you can just have Javascript
and Solr and nothing else.
Though
The solr users are trustworthy and it's only for internal use. The purpose of
this form is to allow user to directly input data to be further indexed by
solr. I am interested in this sentence from your reply which is "Or you can
run Javascript to post back to Solr". Please bear with me if I ask ver
In the most recent Solr, there is a "Documents" page, next after the
DataImportHandler page. That's got several different ways to add a
document.

If I understand your reply correctly, the idea is to post the javascript
form data from the webpage to /update/extract handler. Thank you for
shedding some light.

There is a couple of issues with what you are saying here:
1) You should not be exposing Solr directly to the internet. They
would be able to delete all your records and do other damage. /browse
endpoint is there to show-off what Solr can do, not to be used in
production
2) Solr is Java, it does no
One possibility is to send to one of Solr's /update handlers from your page.
It won't be straightforward unless you were POSTing a file to /update/extract,
but it would be possible for a little bit of JavaScript onSubmit to format the
data amenable to Solr.
I've not done this myself but it'd
