Solr does not index random XML documents, (but see Martin's comments
about DIH). Solr will index XML documents that have a specific format,
however. The general form is:
<add>
<doc>
<field name="xxxx">value to index</field>
<field name="yyyy">value for this field </field>
</doc>
<doc>
................
</doc>
</add>
So you can either try DIH or parse the raw XML yourself and put it in the above
form for indexing...
