xml generation for SOLR

[ne...@aikia.in]

hai,

Yes the Xml formats is understood but there is an issue to generate these
xmls
from a data source. These XML feild tags doesnot contain the same start
tags and end tags.

like <field name="cat">software</field>

and standerd xml writers have xml generated as the same start and end tags.

in SOLR xml
start tag = <field name="cat">
end tag =  </field>

can you adivise anything on this please.

regards,
aditya

that "tag" is the same, the "tag" is "field" ... the field "tag" has a
mandatory "attribute" which is "name"

While it's certianly true that some people discourage use of XML
"attributes" when designing XML schema,s it doesn't change the fact that
having "attributes" is a very legal part of XML.

a quick google search for "xml attribute" turns up quite a few pages that
you may find useful, here's just a few for starters...
