Jon, Is the binary (javabin) format implied by selecting the RawResponseParser? I guess I don't know what the javabin format is.
So you took a SolrDocumentList and converted it into a JSON Array?

I have had to proxy Solr recently and found just throwing a SolrDocumentList as a JSONArray (via json.org libs) works pretty well (YMMV). I was just under the impression that the Java to Java bridge was the best way to go ... It would be nice to have util methods on the SolrDocumentList (toJSON(), toXML(), etc) maybe? - Jon On Sep 14, 2008, at 11:14 PM, Erik Hatcher wrote: > > On Sep 14, 2008, at 2:51 PM, Julio Castillo wrote: >> What is the status of JSON support via SolrJ? > > Requires a custom ResponseParser.
