how to use ajax-solr - example?

[Joel Nylund]

Hi, I looked at the documentation and I have no idea how to get
started? Can someone point me to or show me an example of how to send
a query to a solr server and paginate through the results using ajax-
solr.

I would glady write a blog tutorial on how to do this if someone can
get me started.

I dont know jquery but have used prototype & scriptaculous.

thanks
Joel

Joel,

It will be best if you use a scripting language between Solr and JavaScript

This is becasue sending data only between JavaScript and Solr will limit you
to only one domain name.

However, if you are using a scripting language between JavaScript and Solr
you can use the scripting language to retrieve the request parameters from
JavaScript and then same them to Solr with the response writer set to json.

This will cause Solr to send the response in JSON format which the scripting
language can pass on to JavaScript.

This example here will cause Solr to return the response in JSON.

Hi Israel,

I agree the idea of adding a scripting language in between is good,
but I want something simple I can easily test my queries with data and
scroll through the results. I have been using the browser and getting
xml for now, but would like to save my queries in a simple html page
and format the data.

I figured this is something I can throw together in a few hours, but I
also figured someone would have already done the work.

thanks
Joel

This is a really nice index browser.

Another option is the VelocityResponseWriter, pretty smooth for quick

It seems the OP has found what he wanted, but just to clarify and update:

The AJAX Solr documentation has been massively expanded, and a demo site has
been created:

Demo: http://evolvingweb.github.com/ajax-solr/examples/reuters/index.html
Docs: http://evolvingweb.github.com/ajax-solr/

AJAX Solr is JavaScript framework-agnostic. If you prefer Prototype, use
Prototype. The documentation, however, is written in jQuery, as it is the
most popular framework.

Counter what Israel said, sending data only between JavaScript and Solr will
*not* limit you to one domain. In the demo site, for example, the HTML/JS is
on one domain and Solr is on another domain.

Cheers,

James
