Transform Update responses with XSLT?
Hi,
is there a way to transform a Solr update response with a XSLT-Stylesheet?
It looks like the XSLTResponseWriter is only used for searches.
Best regards,
Max

Thanks for the answer, but I am not sure if you understood what I am
trying to do. I know I can transform the Solr-update response with XSLT.
As it is XML this will always work.
My question is can Solr (out-of-the-box) do this, just as with the
responses from the searchHandler.
How do I configure this? Where does the stylesheet go in the Solr
installation?
The usecase for this is, that users should be able to submit content to
the index and get a response back from Solr. Sure I could wrap all this
parsing the response to an update with an other webapp, but it would be
nice to make it work only with Solr.
Best regards,
Max

It is absolutely possible to do such a thing. I wish I had more time
right now to create even a sample. Unfortunately while I'm not too bad
at XSLT, I haven't used it often enough to whip something up off the top
of my head with any hope of it working the first time. I encourage you
to read up on XSLT creation though as what you're asking is definitely
doable. Possible problems I could see would be if you want the XSLT to
also generate navigation links for you automatically. Basic formatting
of the results shouldn't be a problem though.

Hi Maximilian,
yes, it is definitely doable out of the box.
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/XsltResponseWriter?highlight=%28CategoryQueryResponseWriter%29%7C%28%28CategoryQueryResponseWriter%29%29
I've used it with no problems..but then decided to return to the default XML and let the XSTL transforms in the hands of the web dev guys.
Cheers,
B
