Nice! Another technique for the denial-of-service problem: you can regulate the number of simultaneous active servlets. Most servlet containers have a configuration for this somewhere. This will slow down legit users but will still avoid killing the server machine.
-----Original Message----- From: Matthias Epheser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2008 2:28 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Announcement of Solr Javascript Client Hi users, As initially described in this thread [1] I am currently working on a javascript client library for solr. The idea is based on a demo [2] that introduces a reusable javascript widget client. I spent the last weeks evaluating the best fitting technologies that ensure a clean generic port of the demo into the solr project. The goal is to make it easy to use and include in webpages on the one hand, and creating a clean interface to the solr server on the other hand. With this announcement, I want to ask the community for their experience with solr and javascript and would appreciate feedback about this proposal: - javascript toolkit: JQuery, because it is already shipped with the solr webapp - Using a manager object on the client that holds all widgets and takes care of the communication to the solr server. - Using the JSONResponsewriter to get the data to the widgets so they could update their ui. These technologies seem to be the currently best ones IMHO, any feedback/experiences welcome.
