Hi Gervais,

I am sorry for the delay, I have been too busy.

I found that the following code in dk.defxws.fgssolr.OperationsImpl

    private void deletePid(
            String pid,
            String indexName,
            StringBuffer resultXml)
    throws java.rmi.RemoteException {
        if (logger.isDebugEnabled())
            logger.debug("deletePid indexName="+indexName+" pid="+pid);
        if (pid.length()>0 && indexDocExists(pid)) {
            StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("<delete><id>"+pid+"</id></delete>");
            postData(config.getIndexBase(indexName)+"/update", new StringReader(sb.toString()), resultXml);
            deleteTotal++;
            docCount--;
            resultXml.append("<deletePid pid=\""+pid+"\"/>\n");
        }
    }

is responsible for avoiding the delete message, when the object is not found locally. 

I am not sure if taking out the call to indexDocExists(pid) would solve your problem.

There is also the option to generate that delete document to solr in your own code following your code to delete the Fedora object. It is perfectly ok to send messages to solr without involving gsearch, so this is  the solution I would recommend in the first place. If for some reason this would not solve it, the solution above could be tried.

Let me know how you proceed, and if you succeed. If you are not successful, I could perhaps think of other ways.

Cheers,
Gert
