Mark,
Another approach would be to write a customized REST endpoint that will
query SOLR using the DSpace API.
If you go with this approach, you can store your custom endpoint in
dspace/modules/rest.
We had some legacy code that queried SOLR directly. We have been able to
replace that legacy code with a new custom endpoint.
If this approach sounds useful, I will be happy to share some example code.
DiscoverQuery query = new DiscoverQuery();
query.setQuery(search);
query.setMaxResults(rows);
query.setStart(from);
DiscoverResult discoverResult = null;
if (scopeHandle != null) {
DSpaceObject obj = HandleManager.resolveToObject(context,
scopeHandle.trim());
if (obj != null) {
discoverResult = SearchUtils.getSearchService().search(context, obj,
query);
}
}
if (discoverResult == null){
discoverResult = SearchUtils.getSearchService().search(context, query);
}
