Spring Data Solr Tutorial: Adding Custom Methods to All Repositories

If we are using Spring Data Solr in a real life software project, the odds are that sooner or later we will face a requirement which states that our application must be able to communicate with both a local Solr server and a SolrCloud. At the moment, fulfilling this requirement means that we have to […] Read more

In the earlier parts of my Spring Data Solr tutorial, we have implemented a simple search function which is used to search the information of todo entries. The current implementation of our search function shows all search results in a single page. This is not a viable solution for most real life applications because the […] Read more

Spring Data Solr Tutorial: Sorting

When we are implementing a word search function, we typically want to sort the search results in descending order by using the relevancy of each search result. This is also the default behaviour of Solr. However, there are situations when it makes to sense to specify the sort order manually. One such situation is an […] Read more
