[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-58?page=comments#action_12448692 ] Erik Hatcher commented on SOLR-58: ----------------------------------
The XML is being written (in the few attachments I sampled) as out.println() style. This has several drawbacks: 1) what about XML escaping/encoding issues? 2) What about clients that want JSON, Ruby, or some other format from a response writer? I strongly feel that the admin capability should work _just like_ the front-end search capability, using a response writer for its output, not out.println's, making this much more flexible in the future. Refactoring so there is no difference between the front and "admin" sides would really make Solr shine! :) > Change Admin components to return XML like the rest of the system > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-58 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-58 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: web gui > Reporter: Otis Gospodnetic > Assigned To: Otis Gospodnetic > Priority: Minor > Attachments: analysis-xml-out.txt, analysis-xml.jsp, logging-xml.jsp, > ping-xml-out.txt, ping-xml.jsp, schemaxsl.zip, threaddump-xml-out.txt, > threaddump-xml.jsp > > > I need to expose the admin functionality to an external application.
