Thanks for the reply:
I follow the schema.xml concept, but what if my requirement is more
dynamic in nature? I.E. I would like my developers to be able to
annotate a POJO and submit it to the Solr server (embedded) to be
indexed according to public properties OR annotations. Is that possible?
If that is not possible, can I programatically define documents and
fields (and the field options) in straight Java? I.E. in pseudo code
below...
// this is made up but this is what I would like to be able to do
SolrDoc document = new SolrDoc();
SolrField field = new SolrField()
field.isIndexed=true;
field.isStored=true;
field.name = 'myField'
field.value = myPOJO.getValue();
solrServer.index(document);

The answer to all your questions above is the magical file called
schema.xml. For more read here - http://wiki.apache.org/solr/
SchemaXml.
SolrJ is simply a java client to access (read and update from) the
solr
server.
c) If I create a custom index outside of Solr using straight lucene,
is it
easy to import a pre-exisiting lucene index into a Solr Server?
As long as the Lucene index matches the definitions in your schema
you can
use the same index. The data however needs to copied into a
predictable
location inside SOLR_HOME.

Hi,
I am new to Solr but fairly advanced with lucene.
In the past I have created custom Lucene search engines that indexed
objects in a Java application, so my background is coming from this
