: OK, here is my latest code to get the IndexReader from the solr core. : However, it still printed out the non-string fields as special chars. I do : use the schema file here. Please help.
you'll want to use the IndexSchema object to get the FieldType object for your field name. then use the FieldType to convert the values in the index to readable values. Take a look at the javadocs for IndexSearcher and FieldType for more details. if you look at code like the XMLResponseWriter you'll see examples of iterating over all the fields in a Document and using those methods. -Hoss
