Hi Gary, From http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler#Usage_with_XML.2BAC8-HTTP_Datasource
*It does not support namespaces , but it can handle xmls with namespaces . When you provide the xpath, just drop the namespace and give the rest (eg if the tag is '<dc:subject>' the mapping should just contain 'subject').Easy, isn't it? And you didn't need to write one line of code! Enjoy ** * You should be able to use xpath="//titleInfo/title" without making any modifications (removing the namespace) to your xml. I hope that answers your question. Regards, Tricia On Mon, Oct 31, 2011 at 9:24 AM, Moore, Gary <gary.mo...@ars.usda.gov>wrote: > I'm trying to import some MODS XML using DIH.
