Passing a Cookie in SolrJ
Hi All,
The project I am working on is using Solr and OpenSSO (Sun's single sign on service). I need to write some sample code for our users that shows them how to query Solr and I would just like to point them to the SolrJ documentation but I can't see an easy way to be able to pass a cookie with the request. The cookie is needed to be able to get through the SSO layer but will just be ignored by Solr. I see that you are using Apache Commons Http Client and with that I would be able to write the cookie if I had access to the HttpMethod being used (GetMethod or PostMethod). However, I can not find an easy way to get access to this with SolrJ and thought I would ask before rewriting a simple example using only an ApacheHttpClient without the SolJ library. Thanks in advance for any pointers you may have.
Thanks,
Paul Ramirez

Unless i'm remembering wrong, and HttpClient instance will manage cookies
for you, so why not just document how your users can use an HttpClient
instance to talk to a server that will set this cookie, and then reuse
that HttpClient instance in your CommonsHttpSolrServer instance.

If he really needs to hardcode the cookie value into code, wouldn't it be
easier to extend HttpClient and modify the methods which take in an
HttpMethod object to first set the cookie on those obejcts before
delegating to super?

SolrJ uses the Apache Commons HTTP client. This describes the authentication
system:
http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/authentication.html
<http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/auth/package-frame.html>
*This has code to use authentication*
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1238
You might be able to find an openSSO implementation for this. Or hack up a
simple one.

There's no easy way I think. You can extend CommonsHttpSolrServer and
override the request method. Copy/paste the code from
CommonsHttpSolrServer#request and make the changes. It is not an elegant way

- I believe you don't have to use SolrJ to query Solr; SolrJ can query and
parse XML response from server; if your clients can use raw URL as a query
and raw XML (JSON etc.) as a response - you don't need SolrJ.
To pass cookie with SolrJ you need modify source code... or may be you can
get access to core HttpClient objects via some configuration (singleton) and
pass default per-client cookie without altering SOLR
