Erik, Yes indeed my architecture has a middle tier and was hoping to use a solrj client interface to perform the handshake between a Solr server and the browser.
And so, if I was able to get hold of the response stream already in JSON format, and just pass it through without having to convert it. Of course if I could get hold of the XML stream then I could pass it through to the browser too I suppose. ** julio -----Original Message----- From: Erik Hatcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2008 9:46 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: SolrJ and JSON in Solr -1.3 If the client wants JSON, then it seems passing it straight from Solr through the application server tier (hypothetical architecture here) to the client as JSON is a nice way to go. If the client can talk directly to Solr, then definitely just &wt=json and carry on, but more often then not an application server is in the middle. Curious: SolrJ with javabin format to an app server that converts to JSON, pros/cons to the raw response writer? What are others doing in the Ajaxed client world with Solr?
