For examples of using this, see: SchemaTest.java to _get_ the Solr source code to see these, see: https://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute Best, Erick On Thu, Jan 7, 2016 at 7:01 PM, Binoy Dalal <binoydala...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am not sure about solrj but you can use any XML parsing library to > achieve this. > Take a look here: > http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java_xml/java_xml_parsers.htm > > On Fri, 8 Jan 2016, 08:06 Bob Lawson <bwlawson...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I want to programmatically make changes to schema.xml using java to do >> it.
