Hi Lance, Thank you very much for responding (not sure how I reply to the group, so, writing to you).
Can you please expand on your suggestion? I am not a web guy and so, don't know where to start. What is the difference between SolrJ and DataImportHandler? Do I need to set up web servers on all my storage boxes? Apologies for the basic level of questions, but hope I can get started and implement this before the year end (you know why :o) Thanks, Sesh On 12 November 2010 13:31, Lance Norskog <goks...@gmail.com> wrote: > Using 'curl' is fine.
