: Thanks for the tip but I solved it but using the old way of loading custom : libs into solr: unpack the war file, add the custom library to WEB-INF/lib : and repack it. It definetly is a class loader problem, as the wiki specifies : that the new way of loading custom jars is using a custom class loader that : *might* not work...
Hmmm... the "might not work" comment on that wiki is pretty old, it's been fairly well vetted at this point, and so far I haven't seen anyone have any serious problems with it. I know you've got things working fine for you know, but whould you mind helping us diagnose the root problem incase it happens to other people who aren't as familiar with building their own war? * which servlet container are you using? * which JVM ? before you rolled your own war... * what did the full directory structure of your solr home look like? * with logging at at least the INFO level, did you see any log messages that mentioned "Solr classloader" or "solr lib class loader" ? -Hoss
