  We consider weighted Bergman spaces $A_\mu^1$ on the unit disc as well as the
corresponding spaces of entire functions, defined using non-atomic Borel
measures with radial symmetry. By extending the techniques from the case of
reflexive Bergman spaces we characterize the solid core of $A_\mu^1$. Also, as
a consequence of a characterization of solid $A_\mu^1$-spaces we show that, in
the case of entire functions, there indeed exist solid $A_\mu^1$-spaces. The
second part of the paper is restricted to the case of the unit disc and it
contains a characterization of the solid hull of $A_\mu^1$, when $\mu $ equals
the weighted Lebesgue measure with weight $v$. The results are based on a
duality relation of weighted $A^1$- and $H^\infty$-spaces, the validity of
which requires the assumption that $- \log v$ belongs to the class
$\mathcal{W}_0$, studied in a number of publications; moreover, $v$ has to
satisfy condition $(b)$, introduced by the authors. The exponentially
decreasing weight $v(z) = \exp( -1 /(1-|z|)$ provides an example satisfying
both assumptions.
