: DocListAndSet results = new DocListAndSet(); : Hits h = searcher.search(rb.getQuery()); ... : Is this the correct way to obtain the docs?
Uh.... not really. why are you using the Hits method at all? why don't you call the searcher.search method that returns a DocListAndSet instead? (Hits is a deprecated method in Lucene, and in Solr it doesnt' take advantage of any of hte caches) : I'm receiving a null java.lang.NullPointerException with this code. FYI: that's because results.docList is null until something assigns a new DocList to it ... if you want to build you'r own from scratch, you've got to instantiate it. -Hoss
