: Ok, I'm not sure where my particular use of Solr fits into all this. : I'm writing a log4j appender that adds each log entry to a Solr index. : It's not really a Solr plugin.
So if i'm understanding correctly, you want to run a "stock" solr server, with none of your own custom code in that server, and then in another application you want to load a custom log4j appender that sends the log messages to the solr server. do i understand that part correctly? is your log4j appender using solrj to communicate with solr? : I've removed all the extra files from the lib directory as you : suggest, and now I get the following message when starting JBoss : : 18:54:23,083 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to : Create: name=jboss.system:service=Logging,type=Log4jService : state=Configured mode=Manual requiredState=Create : java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/solr/client/solrj/SolrServerException Hmmm... just to be clear: are you getting this error in the instance of Solr you've setup to *recieve* the log messages, or in the application where you are generating the log messages? If it's the former, then it sounds like you still have a mungled classpath -- the only thing you need there is the solr.war, no other special jar files. If it's the later, then it looks like you don't have all of hte solrj client jars. I don't remember off the top of my head which jars you need, but a wuick "jar tf" looking for "org/apache/solr/client/solrj/SolrServerException" should be fairly trivial. -Hoss
