Hi:
I'm trying to use figure out how to get solr responses and use them in my
website. I'm having some problems figure out how to
1) My initial thought is is to use ajax, and insert a line like this in my
script:
data = eval($.get("http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=*:*
").responseText)
... and then do what I want with the data, with logic being done in
Javascript on the front page.
However, this is just not working technically: no matter what alternative I
use, I always seem to get no response to this query. I think I'm having
exactly the same problem as described here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/solr-user@lucene.apache.org/msg29949.html<%20http://www.mail-archive.com/solr-user@lucene.apache.org/msg29949.html>
and here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1906498/solr-responses-to-webbrowser-url-but-not-from-javascript-code
Just like those two OPs, I can definitely access my solr responese through a
web browser, but my jquery is getting nothing. Unfortunately, in neither
thread did the answer seem to have been figured out satisfactorily. Does
anybody know what the problem is?
2) As an alternative, I _can_ use the ajax-solr library. Code like this:
var Manager;
(function ($) {
$(function () {
Manager = new AjaxSolr.Manager({
solrUrl: 'http://localhost:8983/solr/'
});
Manager.init();
Manager.store.addByValue('q', '*:*');
Manager.store.addByValue('rows', '1000');
Manager.doRequest();
});
})(jQuery);
does indeed load solr data into my DOM. Somehow, ajax-solr's doRequest
method is doing something that makes it possible to receive the proper
response from the solr servlet, but I don't know what it is so I can't
replicate it with my own ajax. Does anyone know what is happening?
(Of course, I _could_ just use ajax-solr, but doing so would mean figuring
out how to re-write my existing application for how to display search
results in a form that works with the ajax-solr api, and I' d rather avoid
this if possible since it looks somewhat nontrivial.)
Thanks!
Dan
