Hello, I don't know if this is a bug or a missing feature, nor if it was corrected in new versions of Solr (can't find any JIRA about it), so I just want to show you the problem...
I can't test with Solr 4.0, I have a legacy system, not a lot of time, not a Solr expert at all and it seems just updating the maven dependencies and fixing some deprecated conf is not enough... I have a Parameters table which contains params as KEY / VALUE (typically it is a Spring Batch job parameters table) My schema has a dynamic field: <dynamicField name="JOB_PARAM_*" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the DIH, when I use: <entity name="PARAM" query="SELECT key_name AS KEY, string_val AS VALUE FROM BATCH_JOB_PARAMS WHERE JOB_INSTANCE_ID = ${JOB_EXEC.JOB_INSTANCE_ID}"> <field column="VALUE" name="JOB_PARAM_${PARAM.KEY}" /> </entity> It seems the placeholder ${PARAM.KEY} is not replaced. This leads me to a solr document where i have a field - JOB_PARAM_=xxx (like if ${PARAM.KEY} = empty while it is never empty in database) Instead of having multiple fields (one per parameter): - JOB_PARAM_p1=xxx - JOB_PARAM_p2=yyy - JOB_PARAM_p3=yyy --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Curiously I wanted to test with a nested entity and by chance the workaround works! <entity name="PARAM" query="SELECT key_name AS KEY, string_val AS VALUE FROM BATCH_JOB_PARAMS WHERE JOB_INSTANCE_ID = ${JOB_EXEC.JOB_INSTANCE_ID}"> <!-- Hack: obligé d'utiliser une sous requête inutile car sinon Solr ne remplace pas le placeholder dans JOB_PARAM_${PARAM.KEY} --> <entity name="bugHack" query="SELECT '${PARAM.VALUE}' AS VALUE FROM DUAL"> <field column="VALUE" name="JOB_PARAM_${PARAM.KEY}" /> </entity> </entity> This time i get in my document what i wanted in the first place: - JOB_PARAM_p1=xxx - JOB_PARAM_p2=yyy - JOB_PARAM_p3=yyy I guess this is a bug, but perhaps it is already fixed in new versions?
