To be a little more specific, the error message I get is: "forEach cannot start with '//'"
Cannot really find anything on this except for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1437. Which only talks about using '//' for the xpath attribute in the field tag, nothing about using '//' in a forEach attribute. Any suggestions?
