Hello

Anybody has tried to use CPSLuceneCatalog with a Lucene server other
than NXLucene ?

I'm thinking to use it with Solr.   It seems that CPSLuceneCatalog
uses XML-RPC to call NXLucene, so seems it could work

XML-RPC is nothing but a framework to expose a remote APIs via HTTP.

In our case, I would be a bit surprised if NXLucene and Solr would be API compatible, but I wasn't very much informed of the plans while NXLucene was being developped (started to use it myself around march 2006).

Some evidence against direct interoperability is that the search result XML format for Solr is different from NXLucene's (which is actually RSS), as you can see there:
        http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-solr1/

Of course if you're planning to write an Solr connector for nuxeo.lucene, you might avoid a bit of code duplication since if I remember well, calls are well insulated. In any case, such a development would be an interesting project, assuming Solr exposes enough of Lucene, which I don't really doubt.
