You are probably running into a limitation on what XPath syntax Solr can handle. Have never tried this, but one possibility might be to use XSLT to get all the <item> elements. The DIH "entity" element can be given a "xsl" attribute for this. Please see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler , and search Google for examples on using XSLT with Solr DIH. Your other alternative is to extract the <item> elements before indexing into Solr. You could do that inside SolrJ, for example. Regards, Gora
