Re: Build Solr to run SolrJS
I just got the client-side demo on trunk to work (with a few tweaks to make it work with the example core Solr data). On trunk follow these steps: * root directory: ant example * separate console, index data: cd example/exampledocs; java -jar post.jar *.xml * open contrib/javascript/example/testClientside.html in your browser The serverSide.html example is still not quite wired together properly to be an easy-to-run-demo, as what's on trunk doesn't include the reuters data and the velocity stuff is not wired in with it yet either.

Re: Build Solr to run SolrJS
Erik Hatcher schrieb: It'd be nice to have SolrJS and VrW's examples, at least the default one, work off the built-in Solr example data. It's pretty minimal, and somewhat contrived, but it'll make it lots easier to document and demonstrate this stuff if it's cohesive that way. Certainly, though, it's not possible to show off all widgets this way (like country selection), but the more unified we make SolrJS and VrW, the easier it will be for folks to try and eventually adopt these cool technologies. Just posted the patch to SOLR-868, everything is done by ant as described, so you should be able to see meaningful examples within a minute. A script is attached that makes it possible to include 1+ more of testdata if you like, but you don't have to. No manual tweaking is necessary, I don't think it adds to much complexity, as for solrjs purpose, this testdata looks much more real life. matthias Erik On Nov 22, 2008, at 5:50 AM, Matthias Epheser wrote: JCodina schrieb: Yesterday I got it running, I thouhght I had post it, but I should not push the post button.

Just noticed that VelocityResponeWriter in trunk is very reduced to my last
patch from 2008-07-25.
Moving the templates into a jar shouldn't be a problem. Setting the contentType
is still possible, the methods{} wrapper may be moved into the template itself.
The crucial difference is the missing translation into a solrj response by
specifying the vl.response parameter. This was intended to make template
creation more handy, cause the queryResponse is much nicer to navigate.
If this conversion is to specific and shouldn't be in VelocityResponseWriter,
would it be a problem to create a subclass inside contrib/javascript?

Can you elaborate on the use case for why you need the raw response like that? I vaguely get it, but want to really understand the need here. I'm weary of the EmbeddedSolrServer usage in there, as I want to distill the VrW stuff to be able to use SolrJ's API rather than assume embedded Solr. This way VrW can be separated from core Solr to another tier and template on remote Solr responses. Thoughts on how this feature might play out in that scenario?

After we add the SolrQueryResponse to the templates first, we realized that some convenience methods for iterating the result docs, accessing facets etc. would be fine. The idea was to reuse the existing wrappers (eg. QueryResponse). It makes it much nicer to create templates, because velocity is made to just render things, so code using docsets etc. directly may be very overloaded.

I want to get it using SolrJ's API for request/response rather than the more internal stuff we're using now. I think the 'internal' stuff mode is there because Yonik expressed concern about requiring the conversion of DocList to SolrDocumentList -- since Matthias had already done the work to access docs out of the DocList, I figured we should leave it in, even if I can't imagine using it. (someone may be worried about the performance win of not serializing DocList) ryan

I want to get it using SolrJ's API for request/response rather than the more internal stuff we're using now. Got your point. I just added a new patch at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-620 that makes solrjs run again. It includes: - support for response wrapping - support for json wrap - adding the v. prefix to all request parameters for consistency reasons. I'm aware that some parts of this features may be achieved in a nicer way. As you know the SolrJ code better, thanks for your thoughts, I'll try also to dig into the SolrJ side to get a better picture. See this patch as a feature list I need for solrjs. matthias Erik

As SolrJS may be used without velocity at all (using eg. ClientSideWidgets), is it possible to put it into contrib/javascript and create a dependency to contrib/velocity for ServerSideWidgets? Sure, contrib/javascript sounds perfect. If that's ok, I'll have a look at the directory structure and the current ant build.xml to make them fit into the common solr structure and build. Awesome, thanks! Just uploaded solrjs.zip to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-868. It is intended to be extracted in contrib/javascript and supports the following ant targets: * ant dist - creates a single js file and a jar that holds velocity templates. * ant docs - creates js docs. test in browser: doc/index.html * ant example-init - (depends ant dist on solr root) copies the current built of solr.war and solr-velocity.jar to example/testsolr/.. * ant example-start - starts the testsolr server on port 8983 * ant example-import - imports 3000 test data rows (requires a started testserver) Erik
Build Solr to run SolrJS
I downloaded solr/trunk and build it, everything seems to work except that the VelocityResponseWriter is not in the war file and tomcat , gives an error of configuration when using the conf.xml of the solrjs. Any suggestion on how to build the solr to work with solrjs??

Re: Build Solr to run SolrJS
Joan - I'll have a look at this in the near future. SolrJS was using a custom version of a VelocityResponseWriter patch, but since then I have committed a version of that code to the contrib/velocity area of Solr. contrib/velocity probably does not work with SolrJS currently, but we'll get that fixed up. Maybe it all works using the the codebase here? http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrJS Matthias and Ryan - let's get SolrJS integrated into contrib/ velocity. Any objections/reservations?

I'll also have a look at the VelocityResponseWriter from 1.3 and current trunk, concerning solrjs tomorrow. Maybe it all works using the the codebase here? http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrJS The solr.war of the testdata in solrjs trunk is a custom build that was created before the official 1.3.0 release. It includes the Velocity patch, so it should work. As mentioned, it is a custom build from august, so we should aim to make it work with 1.3 and trunk.
