one xpath can be mapped to only one name.

That's a bizarre restriction.  A shame.

If you want to copy one to another use something like a TemplateTransformer

Thanks!, I got it to work like this:

<entity name="blog" pk="id" url="http://server/rss/"; processor="XPathEntityProcessor" forEach="/rss/channel/item" transformer="TemplateTransformer">
            <field column="id" xpath="/rss/channel/item/link"/>
            <field column="url" template="${blog.id}"/>
            <field column="title" xpath="/rss/channel/item/title"/>
<field column="description" xpath="/rss/channel/item/ description"/> <!-- No pubDate either <field column="date" xpath="/rss/ channel/item/pubDate" dateTimeFormat="EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z"/> -->
        </entity>

A couple of questions... how would I add a static valued field in? Something like:

   <field column="source" value="blog"/>

where all documents from this entity come in with a source="blog" literally.

Also, I want to add in date transformation like in the example above commented out. How would I use both the TemplateTransformer and the DateFormatTransformer, since I'm specifying the transformer on the entity rather than the field it is used on? I don't yet understand why the transformer is entity-based rather than per-field.

Thanks for your help, Noble.

I'm trying to index a blog with DIH, and have this:

          <field column="id" xpath="/rss/channel/item/link"/>
          <field column="url" xpath="/rss/channel/item/link"/>

If I comment out the url <field> line it all works fine, but if I put it in, no documents get indexed. Is there an issue with using the same xpath
twice?   Or something else I'm missing?

This is using Solr trunk.

Thanks,
