I'm trying toconvert some of my code over to Solr, but I keep getting
class cast exceptions when I try to use my own similarity class, like this:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException:
dealcatcher.kolinka.lucene.similarity.T
estSimilarity cannot be cast to org.apache.lucene.search.Similarity
at
org.apache.solr.schema.IndexSchema.readConfig(IndexSchema.java:363)
... 21 more
Here is TestSimilarity:
package dealcatcher.kolinka.lucene.similarity;
import org.apache.lucene.search.DefaultSimilarity;
public class TestSimilarity extends DefaultSimilarity
{
}
And my schema.xml:
<similarity class="dealcatcher.kolinka.lucene.similarity.TestSimilarity"/>
It works fine if I use:
<similarity class="org.apache.lucene.search.DefaultSimilarity"/>
The jar with my class is located in example/ext, I get a class not found
if I put it elsewhere. Should I be locating this jar elsewhere? Do I
need to put lucene-nightly in the same directory? I also get a class
not found error if lucene isn't located there, which seems strange since
solr should be able to find lucene classes without my help.
