Ok well a way I can work around this (for the time being) is to pull data from URL's instead. >> without sending an index commit to Solr. As far as I can see >> DataImportHandler >>currently supports full and delta imports which mean I would be indexing. >> > I don't follow what you mean by this and how it relates to the first part. Well as you mentioned below, I'm talking about a custom SearchComponent that reads some data from somewhere (URL for the time being) and then uses it at search time for something. I have no need to index this data, I merely require it at search time. >> So far I have yet to find a requestHandler which is able to read then store >>data in memory, then use this data elsewhere prior to returning documents via >>queryResponseWriter. >I think you are talking about a custom SearchComponent that reads some data >from >somewhere (e.g. your triple store) and then uses it at search time for >something. This sounds doable, although you didn't provide details.

I have web based files and the idea is to specify the URLs to the SearchComponent which can then use data within them during search time. Did your plug-in adhere to the general requestHandler design? Can you provide any resource from which I can get started with this? thank you Lewis Glasgow Caledonian University is a registered Scottish charity, number SC021474 Winner: Times Higher Education’s Widening Participation Initiative of the Year 2009 and Herald Society’s Education Initiative of the Year 2009. http://www.gcu.ac.uk/newsevents/news/bycategory/theuniversity/1/name,6219,en.html Winner: Times Higher Education’s Outstanding Support for Early Career Researchers of the Year 2010, GCU as a lead with Universities Scotland partners. http://www.gcu.ac.uk/newsevents/news/bycategory/theuniversity/1/name,15691,en.html
