Solr::Connection.add XML responses and Solr::Response::Xml

Hi all,

The XML response that Solr returns after successfully adding
documents
to the index appears to differ from the response solr-ruby
expects.

Solr version 1.1 and 1.2 return the following XML snippet
after
successfully indexing a document:

<result status="0"></result>

However, solr-ruby's Solr::Response::Xml class expects
something along
the lines of:

<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response>
<lst name="responseHeader"><int
name="status">0</int><int
name="QTime">2</int></lst>
</response>

(see the comments in solr/response/xml.rb)

Since Solr's XML response differs from what solr-ruby
expects, the
Solr::Connection.add returns false, even though the document
was
committed successfully.

While trying to track down where things diverged, I see the
following
in Solr 1.1's changelog:

"The XML response format when adding multiple documents
to the collection
in a single <add> command has changed to return a
single <result>."

Is it a bug/misconfiguration on my part that Solr is
returning
unexpected XML; or is solr-ruby expecting the wrong
response?

Cheers,
Aaron Suggs

Aaron,

I'm using the trunk version of Solr and getting this
response from  
posting one of the example files:

$ curl http://localhost:89
83/solr/update --data-binary solr.xml  -H  
'Content-type:text/xml;
<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response>
<lst name="responseHeader"><int
name="status">0</int><int  
name="QTime">26</int></lst>
</response>

Are you perhaps using an older solrconfig.xml file?   Try
using the  
one from the Solr example configuration and see if that
changes  
things for you.

	Erik

Ah. I did have something wrong in my solrconfig.xml. Namely,
I needed
to add the line:

<requestHandler name="/update"
class="solr.XmlUpdateRequestHandler" />

Thanks!
