i have heard of jing as being the solidifacation of qi...so my question is...is this possible, and if so has it ever been accomplished?

hmmmmmmmmmmm. while jing is more of an energy transponded by the movements of the body, and qi essentially exsists without the body I would have to say no. We are dealing with two different things there, separate issues. however you must rely on qi to move jing but not visa versa.

Many meanings but three listed. Depends on the Chinese characters.
1. Jing Qi Shen:
Spirits, Qi and mind. the three inner harmonies. (Nei San Her)
2. Jing (root energy) as stored in the kidney may be released and depleted. Jing is replenished by food and Qi. On the other hand, ancenstral Jing once used is gone.
3. Shi Jin (storing inner strength) and Fa Jin (release).
You may Shi Jin slowly with your preparatory moves and then you Fa Jin like a thunder.
Tai Ji Jin:
Shi Jin Lu Zhang Gong; Fa Jin Lu Fan Jian.
Storing Jin like an extended bow so as to release it like releasing an arrow.
Qi is constantly flowing. You may mobilize, "store" and move to push Jin/Li.
Yi Yi Zhue Qi. Yi Qi Zhue Li.
Use your will to push or assist Qi flow. Use your Qi to push or assist your force.
Both Qi and Jin are moving, you mobilize and release them. Maybe not to solidify.

Depends on the character you are referring to.
The spellings in English are hard to differentiate with the sounds between the Jing (or some would spell it Jin) as used in Fajing and the Jing referred to in Chinese Medicine.
The Medical Jing sounds like what you are asking about in one form.
Qi, Jing, Shue Qi Essence , and Blood. Essence is the building block of the body there is a cycle that naturaly occurs between Qi and Jing and Shue.
This is one of the core ideas in TCM.
The other as used in Fajing is referring to the storing and releasing of power or energy in applications - as in Taijiquan uses.
