Solr : Make XML as response in Solr 4.8.1

I am using solr 4.8.1.
When I execute any query for testing purpose from Dashboard I get response in JSON(BY DEFAULT)
Can I change it and make XML as default.
Plz refer below screen. I am taking about dashboard only.

Thanks for looking here.... :)

Solution

  • The default values for your requestHandlers (which is what responds when a query is sent to /query or /select etc.), is set in solrconfig.xml. Here's the example from example/solr in the distribution:

    <!-- A request handler that returns indented JSON by default -->
<requestHandler name="/query" class="solr.SearchHandler">
    <lst name="defaults">
        <str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
        <str name="wt">json</str>
        <str name="indent">true</str>
        <str name="df">text</str>
    </lst>
</requestHandler>

    Changing wt to xml will give you a requestHandler that returns it response as XML by default, unless overridden at query time with the wt parameter. There might be parts of the web interface that assumes the response will be json, but I'm pretty sure those supply a value for wt anyway.
