I have had this and other files index correctly using a different
combination version of Tomcat/Solr without any problem (using similar
code, I re-wrote it because I thought it would be better to use Solrj).
I get the same error whether I use a simple StringBuilder to created the
add manually or if I use Solrj. I have manually encoded each field
before passing it in to the add function as well, so I don't believe it
is a content problem. I have tried to change every setting in Tomcat
and Solr that I can think of, but I'm newer to both of them.
So it works if you build an XML file with the same content and send it
to the server using the example post.sh/post.jar tool?
Have you tried messing with the connection settings?
SolrServer server = new CommonsHttpSolrServer( url );
((CommonsHttpSolrServer)server).setConnectionTimeout(5);
((CommonsHttpSolrServer)server).setDefaultMaxConnectionsPerHost(100);
((CommonsHttpSolrServer)server).setMaxTotalConnections(100);
a timeout of 5ms is probably too short...
