Solr cannot index dates

[anghelutar]

Hello,

I am trying to index the fields which have type d_datetime as proper date fields (type "date" or "tdate") in Solr. For this, I have added the type and the field in schema.xml:


fieldType name="date" class="solr.DateField" sortMissingLast="true" omitNorms="true"
….
field name="@{http://www.xenit.eu/fred/example/model/0.1}purchase_date" type="tdate" indexed="true" stored="true"

However, they are not indexed and the message in the log are:


WARNING: Node index failed and skipped for 861 in Tx 46
org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Invalid Date String:'2013-02-01T19:26:54.000+01:00'

I think this is because Solr only understands UTC dates. Is there any way to convert Alfresco's dates to UTC?

Thanks,

Hi roxana,

why not using the built-in support of Alfresco for date fields in SOLR?
Thanks,
