: 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.
what you are seeing is the results of the toString message on the QueryResponse object generated by the parser -- the XML is gone at this point, the XMLResponseParser processed it to generate that object. that's really the main value add of using the SolrServer/ResponseParser APIs ... if you want the raw XML response there's almost no value in using those classes at all -- just use the HttpClient directly. -Hoss
