: custom request handler, so I wrote the minimal class (attached), compiled : and jar'd it, and placed it in example/lib. I added this to solrconfig.xml:
that's the crux of hte issue. example/lib is where the jetty libraries live -- not solr plugins. you should either put your custom jar's in the "lib" dir of your solr home (ie: example/solr/lib) or put it in a directory of your choice that you refer to from your solrconfig.xml file using a <lib/> directive. : So I copied all the dist/*.jar files into lib and tried again. This time it ouch ... make sure you remove *all* of those, or you will have no end of random obscure classpath issues at random times as jars are sometimes loaded from the war and sometimes loaded from that directory. -Hoss
