I just realized that Solr supports returning child records with the parent starting in version 4.9. I was on 4.8, so I will be upgrading to latest before continuing on this. I think it will then make it easier to show the results in Velocity (in case anyone else needs to do this).

Hey, Erick - Thanks for the response. Yes, I've played around with Velocity before, and I've been able to get some good results. However, with how Solr stores (and returns) child documents, I don't know of a way to get a response that is similar to the initial Json going in - with each parent document having the child documents underneath. I believe that I have to get the parent information, and then run another query for each record to get the child records. I didn't know if someone had done something similar.

Velocity is just taking the Solr response and displaying selected bits in HTML. So assuming the information you want is in the reponse packet (which you can tell just by doing the query from the browser) it's "just" a matter of pulling it out of the response and displaying it. Mostly when I started down this path I poked around the velocity directory it was just a bit of hunt int to figure things out, with some help from the Apache Velocity page. Not much help, but the short form is there's much of an example that I know of for your specific problem.
