: 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
I do not have any real preference about starting over -- it would
probably take the same amount of time to figure out the ugly parts of
the XSL as it would to just do it all as straight JSP. As you both
have suggested, I can generate intermediate XML from the IndexSchema
to avoid doing the really ugly things in XSLT (which, of course, would
also take some time). However, I was thinking more in terms of
trade-offs on future work:
Pro-XSLT: Using the Config utility methods, very easy for somebody to
swap in their own version in $SOLR/conf/ in order to get their own
look and feel.
Pro-JSP: Easier for maintenance, and more approachable for new
contributors, as JSP tends to be less impenetrable than XSLT.
I should be able to finish it either way; however, I have an emerging
crisis in my day job, so I may not be able to respond for a few days.
Thanks,
Greg
