I'm using HttpClient for indexing and searching and it seems to work well. You can either
POST files directly (only works in 3.1 alpha, use InputStreamRequestEntity in 3.0):
PostMethod post = new PostMethod(solrUrl);
post.setRequestEntity(new FileRequestEntity(file, "application/xml"));
int response = new HttpClient().executeMethod(post);
or send a String (e.g. the result of an XSLT transformation)
PostMethod post = new PostMethod(solrUrl);
post.setRequestEntity(new StringRequestEntity(text, "application/xml",
"UTF-8"));
int response = new HttpClient().executeMethod(post);
You can also pool connections if you're writing something multi-threaded.

Jakarta's HttpClient [1] is IMHO a good base for Java clients, and
it's easy to use, see the PostXML example in [2].
