Shalin, thanks for your quick response. Actually I'm trying to pull plaintext from html pages and trying to make xml files for each page. I went through the SolrJ webpage and found that the we've to add all the field and its contents anyway, right? but yes it makes adding/updating etc quite easier than using that SimplePostTool. I tried to use SolrJ client but it doesnot seem to be working. I added all the jar files mentioned in SolrJ wiki to classpath but still its giving me some error.
To be precise it gives me the following error, .....cannot find symbol: symbol : class CommonsHttpSolrServer.... I rechecked to make sure that "commons-httpclient-3.1.jar" is in the class path. Can someone please point me what is the issue? I'm working on Windows and my classpath variable is this: .;E:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\bin;D:\firefox download\apache-solr-1.3.0\apache-solr-1.3.0\dist\solrj-lib\commons-httpclient-3.1.jar;D:\firefox download\apache-solr-1.3.0\apache-solr-1.3.0\dist\solrj-lib\apache-solr-common.jar;D:\firefox download\apache-solr-1.3.0\apache-solr-1.3.0\dist\solrj-lib\apache-solr-1.3.0.jar;D:\firefox download\apache-solr-1.3.0\apache-solr-1.3.0\dist\solrj-lib\solr-solrj-1.3.0.jar;D:\firefox download\apache-solr-1.3.0\apache-solr-1.3.0\dist\solrj-lib\commons-io-1.3.1.jar;D:\firefox download\apache-solr-1.3.0\apache-solr-1.3.0\dist\solrj-lib\commons-codec-1.3.jar;D:\firefox download\apache-solr-1.3.0\apache-solr-1.3.0\dist\solrj-lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar Thank you very much.
