Hi there,

could it be that something with the Generics code in the plugin loader classes works not as expected? Citing for example
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/372250/java-generics-arrays-and-the-classcastexception
this is because
"""
Generics only provide type-safety at compile-time.
"""

80-84
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
protected T create( ResourceLoader loader, String name, String className, Node node ) throws Exception
{
  return (T) loader.newInstance( className, getDefaultPackages() );
}

I am not sure what T is at runtime in this case. The subclass (anonymous in RequestHandlers line 139) replaces T with SolrRequestHandler. But what happens in the superclass? Is it using Object? Sorry, I'm not that deep into Generics.

Hi Chantal!
I've included a stack trace below.

I've attached a debugger to the server starting up, and it is finding my
class file as expected... I agree it looks like something wrong with how
I've deployed the compiled code, but perhaps different Solr versions at
compile time and run time? However, I've checked and rechecked that and
can't see a problem!

The actually ClassCastException is being thrown in a anonymous
AbstractPluginLoader instance's create method:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/solr/tags/release-1.3.0/src/java/org/apache/solr/util/plugin/AbstractPluginLoader.java?revision=695557

It's the cast to SolrRequestHandler which fails.

At the moment, my "deployment" is:

   1. compile my single Java file from an Ant script (pointing at the Solr
   JARs from an exploded solr.war)
   2. copy that class file's directory tree
   (com/jmsbrdy/LiveCoresHandler.class) to a "lib" in the root of my jetty
   install
   3. add "lib" to Jetty's class path
   4. add the Solr JARs from the exploded war to Jetty's class path
   5. start the server

Can you see any problems there?

Hi James!

James Brady schrieb:

There is *something* strange going on with classloaders; when I put my
.class files in the right place in WEB-INF/lib in a repackaged solr.war
file, it's not found by the plugin loader ("Error loading class").

So the plugin classloader isn't seeing stuff inside WEB-INF/lib.

That explains why the plugin loader sees my class files when I point
jetty.class.path at the right directory, but in that situation I also need
to point jetty.class.path at the Solr JARs explicitly.

you cannot be sure that it sees *your* files. It only sees a class that
qualifies with the name that is requested in your code. It's obviously not
the class the code expects, though - as it results in a ClassCastException
at some point. It might help to have a look at where and why that casting
went wrong.

I wrote a custom EntityProcessor and deployed it first under
WEB-INF/classes, and now in the plugin directory, and that worked without a
problem. My first guess is that something with your packaging is wrong -
what do you mean by "default" package? What is the full name of your class
and how does its path in the file system look like?

Can you paste the stack trace of the exception?

Chantal



Still, how would ClassCastExceptions be caused by class loader paths not
being set correctly? I don't follow you... To get a ClassCastException,
the
class to cast to must have been found. The cast-to class must not be in
the
object's inheritance hierarchy, or be built against a different version,
no?

 I guess this is a classloader issue. it is worth trying to put it in
the WEB-INF/lib of the solr.war

Hi, the LiveCoresHandler is in the default package - the behaviour's the
same if I have it in a properly namespaced package too...

The requestHandler name can start either be a path (starting with '/')
or

a

qt name:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrRequestHandler

starting w/ '/' helps in accessing it directly

2009/8/4 Noble Paul നോബിള്‍ नोब्ळ् <noble.p...@corp.aol.com>

what is the package of LiveCoresHandler ?
I guess the requestHandler name should be name="/livecores"

 I'm sure I have the class name right - changing it to something
patently
incorrect results in the expected
"org.apache.solr.common.SolrException:
Error loading class ...", rather thanthe ClassCastException.

 You are right about that, James.
Which Solr version are you using?
Can you please paste the relevant pieces in your solrconfig.xml and

the
 request handler class you have created?
Cheers

I did have some problems getting my class on the app server's
classpath.
I'm
running with solr.home set to "multicore", but creating a
multicore/lib
directory and putting my request handler class in there resulted in

"Error

loading class" errors.

I found that setting jetty.class.path to include multicore/lib (and
also
explicitly point at Solr's core and common JARs) fixed the "Error
loading
class" errors, leaving these ClassCastExceptions...

2009/8/3 Avlesh Singh <avl...@gmail.com>

 Can you cross check the class attribute for your handler in
solrconfig.xml?

My guess is that it is specified as "solr.LiveCoresHandler". It
should

be
fully qualified class name - com.foo.path.to.LiveCoresHandler
instead.

Moreover, I am damn sure that you did not forget to drop your jar
into
solr.home/lib. Checking once again might not be a bad idea :)

  I've tried a few variations on the class definition, including
extending
RequestHandlerBase (as suggested here:


http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrRequestHandler#head-1de7365d7ecf2eac079c5f8b92ee9af712ed75c2

  )
and implementing SolrRequestHandler directly.

I'm sure that the Solr libraries I built against and those I'm

running
on

are the same version too, as I unzipped the Solr war file and
copies

the
relevant jars out of there to build against.
Any ideas on what could be causing the ClassCastException? I've

attached
a

debugger to the running Solr process but it didn't shed any

light
  on
the
issue...
Thanks!
