For XML files that are not in the Solr document upload format, you would use the DataImportHandler.
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler#XPathEntityProcessor Look for the wikipedia example. It shows how to read XML files from disk. You give XPath expressions for different items in the XML.
