Thank you for your input. With your help I was able to solve my problem. Although I could find no good example of how to handle multivalued fields with a custom transformer online your comments helped me to find a solution.
Here is the code that handles both multi-valued and single valued fields. package org.build.com.solr; /** * Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more * contributor license agreements.
