You might be able to skip on a front-end to solr by making extensive use
of XSL to format the results, but there are several other arguments
putting code in front of solr (e.g. saved searches, custom sorting,
result-level embedded actions, etc..)

Hi,
I am new to the lucene/solr. I have a very general question, and hope to
hear your recommendation.
Do you need a middleware/module between your search client and solr server?
The response message is very solr specific. Do you need to translate it to
application object model and return back to search client? In that case, i
am thinking to have a search module in middleware server. it will
route/decorate the search request to solr server, and after getting solr
response then package in an application object list return back to search
client. Does it make sense?
My concern is whether it is unnecessarily add a network layer and slow down
the search speed? But from application point of view, i see that is
necessary. What do you think?
Thanks,
