Taking a quick look at the code, it seems this exception could have been thrown for four reasons: (see org.apache.solr.handler.dataimport.ScriptTransformer#initEngine)
1. Your JRE doesn't have class "javax.script.ScriptEngineManager" (pre 1.6, loaded here via reflection) 2. Your JRE doesn't have any installed scripting engines. This little program outputs 1 engine on my JRE with 6 aliases: [js, rhino, JavaScript, javascript, ECMAScript, ecmascript] ----- import javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory; import javax.script.ScriptEngineManager; public class TestScripting { public static void main(String args[]) { ScriptEngineManager sem = new ScriptEngineManager(); for(ScriptEngineFactory sef : sem.getEngineFactories()) { System.out.println(sef.getNames()); } } } ----- 3. You specified an unsupported scripting engine name in the "language" parameter (see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler#ScriptTransformer) 4. The script you wrote in the <script> tag has errors. Unfortunately, it looks like all 4 of these things are being checked in the same try/catch block. So you could have any of these problems and are getting a potentially misleading error message. One way to eliminate all #1 is to run the test "org.apache.solr.handler.dataimport.TestScriptTransformer" on your JRE and see if it passes.

How can I prove to our Systems guys that the Rhino Engine is not installed? This is the only way that I can prove that it's not installed and we have to have it for SOLR data importhandler script to run. Thanks again. - Randolf -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/SOLR-3-3-DIH-and-Java-1-6-tp3841355p3842520.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
