Re: Suggestion on indexing complex xml

[Vishal Swaroop <vi...@gmail.com>]

Thanks for your time and suggestions Alex...

a) So, if I use xslt... then SOLR output result will be xml, or there is a
trick to get json also

b) I am trying to figure out xslt template for my xml (as below) input to
differentiate "parameter1" & "parameter2" as some elements are common (e.g.
name, value)... any help will be great.
Trying to figure out best approach for below xml.

c) Is there a way to get the attribute (e.g. version) also for element
(e.g. parameter)

*XML input :*
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<*build*>
   <*actions*>
      <*parametersAction*>
         <*parameters*>
            <*parameter1 *version="1.0">
               <name>Name1</name>
               <value>1</value>
            </*parameter1*>
            <*parameter2*>
               <name>Name2</name>
               <description>description test</description>
               <value>2</value>
            </*parameter2*>
         </*parameters*>
      </*parametersAction*>
   </*actions*>
</*build*>

Regards
Vishal
