: Only /solr/mycore/select/?qt=/update uses update handler :P or just register your handler using the name "/select" then the request dispatcher will use it, and ignore "qt".
In trunk, the legacy SolrServlet has been removed, so you'll be able to set handleSelect="false" on the <requestDispatcher /> and not worry about /select at all unless you really want a url with that path to exist. -Hoss
