Integrating Solr with JEE Applications

Chris Male is a 25yr old New Zealander, working as a software developer for JTeam in New Zealand. He has been using Solr and Lucene for a number of years in many different projects. He has been heavily involved with the development of Lucene's spatial search support and is one of the authors of the popular Hunspell analysis framework for Lucene.

So you have downloaded Solr, configured it, indexed your data and are now ready to integrate it with the rest of your enterprise Java application. For most situations, this process will begin with Solr's Java client library SolrJ, but how do you configure SolrJ? What are best practices for using it? And how can you use it to build a robust search service tailored to your applications needs? In this presentation we'll show how to configure SolrJ in a Spring application and walkthrough a powerful design for incorporating Solr/Lucene and SolrJ in your application.
