: What about creating an xml report (using a the live index searcher) : and transforming that with XSLT to add look&feel? yeah ... i think you've really got something totally usable as is right now, os don't feel like you have to start over. when i first typed up that "MakeSolrMoreSelfService" and the "Schema Explorer" section, it never occured to me how much of that can be done using XSLT. What i was debating in my head recently was for the things that *can't* be done over XSLT, or are hard to do with XSLT, maybe a servlet can generated an XML doc which reuses much of hte smae syntax, but has extra "denormalized" tags in it for easier XSLT procesing (ie: imaging a doc where the top level tag is "<generated-schema>" instead of schema, and all of the default values are explicitly filled in for every <fieldtype> and all of the inherited values are filled in for every <field> and <dynamicField>) then you can have a XSLT which could be used to style the schema.xml directly -- or it could be used to style the "generated-schema" ...either way: what you've got right now gets us really really far. -Hoss
