Thanks Yonik and Walter, putting it that way, it does make good sense to not store the transient xml file which it is most of the usecases (I was thinking differently because I do have xml files on file system or over http, like from a webdav call)
Anyway, thx for all answers, and again, sry for mails not indenting properly at the moment, it irritates me as well :-) Regards Ard > thanks for the info.

Solr isn't indexing XML documents, it's simply using XML as a serialization format to pass the data to serialize. Often, a program is written to read some other data source (like a database), and send an XML message to Solr to index it (and hence the XML document only exists for a very brief time). -Yonik
