I am trying to post some json data going through this http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateJSON tutorial. As the document shows, the following command should work,
curl 'http://localhost:8983/solr/update/json?commit=true' --data-binary @books.json -H 'Content-type:application/json' And it does. However, doing it with HttpClient is a bit different. I need to post JSON data from a string. Including the data requires that I create a StringEntity. However this leaves me with passing any additional parameters, through the URL. So the only way I was able to get it to work, is by adding the parameter (commit=true) to the url as in the following code. private static String url = "http://localhost:8080/solr/update/json?commit=true";; @Override public void index(ProductData product) { HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url); post.addHeader("Content-type", "application/json"); String d = "[ { \"id\" : \"123\", \"name\" : \"My Product\" } ]"; try { StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(d); entity.setContentEncoding("UTF-8"); entity.setChunked(true); entity.setContentType("application/json"); post.setEntity(entity); HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(post); System.out.println(response); } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (ParseException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } I googled for this issue, and the closest I was able to find is http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2017414/post-multipart-request-with-android-sdk, where the solution suggests using MultiPartEntity. I am not sure if this is the only way. So my question is, what do I need to do, to be able to able to set the parameters on the post request ??
