Okay... found the problem after some more debugging. I was using a wrong datasource tag in the data-config.xml, may be Solr should validate the xml against a schema so these kind of issues are caught upfront.
wrong: <data<b>s*ource name="fieldSource" type="FieldReaderDataSource" /> correct: <data<b>S*ource name="fieldSource" type="FieldReaderDataSource" /> this resolved the issue. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/DIH-incorrect-datasource-being-picked-up-by-XPathEntityProcessor-tp3994802p3995246.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
