So, trying to use a SolrJ 4.3 to talk to an old Solr 1.4. Specifically
to add documents.
The wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Solrj suggests, I think, that
this should work, so long as you:
server.setParser(new XMLResponseParser());
However, when I do this, I still get a
org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: "parsing error" from
org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.XMLResponseParser.processResponse(XMLResponseParser.java:143)
(If I _don't_ setParser to XML, and use the binary parser... I get a
fully expected error about binary format corruption -- that part is
expected and I understand it, that's why you have to use the
XMLResponseParser instead).
Am I not doing enough to my SolrJ 4.3 to get it to talk to the Solr 1.4
server in pure XML? I've set the parser to the XMLResponseParser, do I
also have to somehow tell it to actually use the Solr 1.4 XML update
handler or something? I don't entirely understand what I'm talking about.
Alternately... is it just a lost cause trying to get SolrJ 4.3 to talk
to Solr 1.4, is the wiki wrong that this is possible?
Thanks for any help,
Jonathan
