Hi Lance, your are right: XPathEntityProcessor has the attribut "xsl", so I can use xslt to generate a xml-File "in the form of the standard Solr update schema". I will check the performance of this.
Best regards Karsten btw. "flatten" is an attribute of the "field"-Tag, not of XPathEntityProcessor (like wrongly specified it the wiki) -------- Lance > There is an option somewhere to use the full XML DOM implementation > for using xpaths.
