Don't worry Erik -- I figured this one out.
For the benefit of future searchers, you need
<str name="defType">lucene</str>
And to avoid the NullPointerException from the /solr/CORENAME/itas page, you
actually need to supply a
?q=blah
initial query.
I just assumed it would give you a blank search page if you didn't supply a
query.
N.B. In case this catches anyone out -- there's also a few places where you
need to put the core name into the templates in the conf/velocity directory
for the core. They don't pick this up automatically so you need to find any
references to /solr/admin or /solr/itas and insert your core name in the
middle.
(Does anyone know if there'd be a simple way to make that automatic?)
