My work engages SolrJ, with which I send documents off to Solr 4 which
properly store, as viewed in the admin panel, as this example:
2013-02-04T02:11:39.995Z

When I retrieve a document with that date, I use the SolrDocument
returned as a Map<String,Object> in which the date now looks like
this:
Sun Feb 03 18:11:39 PST 2013

I am thinking that I am missing something in the SolrJ configuration,
though it could be in how I structure the query; for now, here is the
simplistic way I setup SolrJ:

HttpSolrServer server = new HttpSolrServer(solrURL);
server.setParser(new XMLResponseParser())

Is there something I am missing to retain dates as Solr stores them?

Quick note: setting the parser is NOT necessary unless you are trying to connect radically different versions of Solr and SolrJ (1.x and 3.x/later, to be precise), and will in fact make SolrJ slightly slower when contacting Solr. Just let it use the default javabin parser -- it's faster.

If your date field in Solr is an actual date type, then you should be getting back a Date object in Java which you can manipulate in all the usual Java ways. The format that you are seeing matches the toString() output from a Date object:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Date.html#toString%28%29

You'll almost certainly have to cast the object so it's the right type:

Date dateField = (Date) doc.get("datefieldname");

Thanks,
