best way to get maxDocs in java (i.e. as on stats.jsp page).

[Will Milspec]

hi all,

What's the best way to programmatically-in-java get the 'maxDoc' attribute
(as seen on the stats.jsp page).

I don't see any hooks on the solrj api.

Currently I plan to use an http client to get stats.jsp (which returns xml)
and parse it using xpath.

If anyone can recommend a better approach, please opine.

thanks

will
