If your metadata requirements aren't too heavy, you could store all the title, author, etc. info in Solr along with the index of the full text of the document. Then when you submitted a query to Solr, you could retrieve back the list of information you'd need to display a page of search results, and use the start and rows params of a Solr query to page through them.
If you're working in JSP and Servlets, you should definitely be using the SolrJ library to talk to Solr.
