Solr Change CommonsHttpSolrServer To HttpSolrServer

Question

For Basic Authentication in solr 3.5 I am using the following code,

String url = "http://192.168.192.11:8080/solr/FormResponses";
CommonsHttpSolrServer server = new CommonsHttpSolrServer( url );
String username = "user";
String password = "user123";
Credentials defaultcreds = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(username, password);
server.getHttpClient().getState().setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, defaultcreds);
server.getHttpClient().getParams().setAuthenticationPreemptive(true);

In solr 4.0 CommonsHttpSolrServer is not available, so I want to replace it with HttpSolrServer. Can anyone help me to fix this?

Change the code as follows :

import org.apache.http.auth.AuthScope;
import org.apache.http.auth.UsernamePasswordCredentials;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrServer;

String url = "http://192.168.192.11:8080/solr/FormResponses";
HttpSolrServer server = new HttpSolrServer( url );
DefaultHttpClient client = (DefaultHttpClient) server.getHttpClient();

UsernamePasswordCredentials defaultcreds = new UsernamePasswordCredentials("user", "user123");
client.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, defaultcreds);

For server.getHttpClient().getParams().setAuthenticationPreemptive(true) in HttpClient 4 you can use the solution described here.
