Hoss Man commented on SOLR-11032:
---------------------------------

First off: big +1 from me on the idea of moving to using include-partial to 
pull in solrj samples.  i love that this sort of thing is now possible with the 
ref-guide.

bq. The attached patch moves the Java snippets out from the using-solrj page, 
to build-able examples that live in {{solr/solr-ref-guide/src/java}}. ...

i haven't looked at the patch in depth, but i would suggest that _instead_ of 
adding new, isloated, examples that live in {{solr/solr-ref-guide/src/java}}, 
thes new code snippets belong in tests that live in {{solr/solrj/src/test}}.

that would:
* keep the "PROS" listed (the solrj APIs can't be updated w/o the tests being 
updated)
* new PRO: pulling these snippets from actual junit tests means we can not only 
be confident that they compile, but that they actually do what the doc says 
they'll do -- by adding asserts after/outside the include tags verifying the 
expected outcome
* eliminate the only CONS: no need to change the build dependencies of the 
ref-guide
** building the ref guide won't _depend_ on building solrj, it will just trust 
that the snippets must be valid because the solrj tests (presumably) pass
*** down the road, once we can more easily integrate the ref guide build 
directly into the main build this assumption can go away -- but in the mean 
time it doesn't have to be a concern/issue/question affecting these doc 
impreovements
** of course: the ref-guide build ican/should still fail if the "include" tags 
aren't found in the references java file (or if the java test file gets 
removed/moved)
*** (I'm assuming asciidoctor gives an error on this? we should double check 
that)

> The [solrj tutorial](https://wiki.apache.org/solr/Solrj) has the following 
> issues:
>   * It refers to 1.4.0 whereas the current release is 6.x, some classes are 
> deprecated or no longer exist.
>   * Document-object-binding is a crucial feature [which should be working in 
> the meantime](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1945) and thus 
> should be covered in the tutorial.
