Dear All, Until now we have used Solr from a servlet in which we built the solr URL, and used response.sendRedirect(url) to send the query to solr, and have it translate its XML results, through XSLT, to HTML.
We now want to do the XML/XSL translation process ourselves, and to accomplish that I no longer redirect my servlet to the solr url, but use a CommonsHttpSolrServlet to which I pass the parameters using ModifiableSolrParams: CommonsHttpSolrServer server = new CommonsHttpSolrServer("http://localhost:8080/kannada/db"); server.setParser(new XMLResponseParser()); ModifiableSolrParams params = new ModifiableSolrParams(); params.set("q", searchTerms); params.set("q.op", combination); QueryResponse solrResponse = null; try{ solrResponse = server.query(params); } catch(Exception e) { System.out.println("Exception occured in SOLR"); } When I so a System.out(solrResponse), I get: {responseHeader={status=0,QTime=141,params={q=library,q.op=AND,wt=xml,version=2.2}},response={numFound=180,start=0,docs=[SolrDocument[{timestamp=Wed Jan 07 16:36:51 CET 2009, sum (...) Because I used server.setParser(new XMLResponseParser()), I get the wt=xml parameter in the responseHeader, but the format of the responseHeader is clearly no XML at all. I expect Solr does output XML, but that the QueryResponse, when I print its contents, formats this as the string above. Is there any way to directly obtain Solr's XML output? Kind regards, and many thanks in advance, Maarten Buiter
