solr/dataimport?command=reload-config should return the message <str name="importResponse">Configuration Re-loaded sucessfully</str> if everything went well. May be you can check that after each reload. May be it is not a valid xml? By the way, can't you use variable resolver in your case? http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler#A_VariableResolver Passing different rss URLs using a custom parameter from request like, ${dataimporter.request.myrssurl}. /dataimport?command=full-import&clean=false&myrssurl=http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss Similar discussion http://search-lucene.com/m/xILqvbY6h91/
