Posting from Ant
Is there an Ant task out there somewhere that can POST bunches of files
to Solr, doing what the post.sh script does but with filesets?
I've found the http post task
(http://antelope.tigris.org/nonav/docs/manual/bk03ch17.html), but it
just posts name-value pairs, not files; and Slide's set of webdav client
tasks
(http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/appl/apache/jakarta/slide/binaries/jaka
rta-slide-ant-webdav-bin-2.1.zip) has PUT and GET but not POST. It
shouldn't be hard to adapt one of these, but something pre-existing
would be better.

Good eye, Hoss!
I meant to mention the <foreach> task, but my Ant committership would
have been revoked :) (just kidding, but it is controversial and this
is why it doesn't exist in Ant itself).
And you can, of course, always <exec> to curl or to Solr's example
post.sh.

I wondered about that file attribute too, but I think it's supposed to call up a java properties file to set name-value pairs. And anyway it's only a single file rather than a fileset.
If you come up with something, I'll be very grateful to hear about it. For us Ant addicts, it would be great to be able to populate a Solr index by doing batch xslt transformation followed by batch posts all from an Ant build file.

Great question. And you'd think I'd be able to help, but alas I've
not done this myself.

This looks like a clone of the ant-contrib task: <http://ant-
contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/index.html>. The 'file'
attribute might be able to do the trick, though I'm not quite sure
from the description.

Agreed. This should be quite do-able, and not too difficult.
I'll poke around some more and see if I can find something suitable.
