I'm using solr as a part of what could be described as a content management system. I don't have a problem with uploading the files independently of Solr, but I'm trying to avoid sending excess data. I'm also trying to avoid any solutions that are system dependent. Perhaps another option would be to create a servlet that handled the file upload and then forwarded the data to Solr using SolrJ.
