In 3.6.1 i also got back a Date insance, now from 4.0 I receive also a String.
I don't like this, but I adapted my software now. Is there no way to change this behavior in the config? -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Shawn Heisey [mailto:s...@elyograg.org] Gesendet: Sonntag, 13.

Quick note: setting the parser is NOT necessary unless you are trying to connect radically different versions of Solr and SolrJ (1.x and 3.x/later, to be precise), and will in fact make SolrJ slightly slower when contacting Solr. Just let it use the default javabin parser -- it's faster. If your date field in Solr is an actual date type, then you should be getting back a Date object in Java which you can manipulate in all the usual Java ways. The format that you are seeing matches the toString() output from a Date object: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Date.html#toString%28%2 9 You'll almost certainly have to cast the object so it's the right type: Date dateField = (Date) doc.get("datefieldname"); Thanks, Shawn
