My thinking is that Solr is trying to add the field directly as

something which is causing it to go wrong? Can anyone help please?
That is correct. You'll need to do the date creation in your own
code so
that you send a well-formed date to Solr.
Hi, thanks for your prompt reply. I'm a bit confused though - the
only way to do this is a two-step process?
I have to write code to munge the XML into another document which is
exactly the same except for the format of the Date field, and then
import that second file? Isn't that the whole purpose of having an
analyzer with the solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory filters? What's
odd is that the pattern replacement works if I store the field as text
but not as a date. Are you sure this isn't a bug?
