I also applied a fix to both Trunk/4.x and the 3.x branch (will be in 3.6 when it is released). This should give you better error messages when something goes wrong when ScriptTransformer is invoked. It will tell you that you need >1.6 only if the functionality is absent (case #1 in my last message). In case #2 or #3 it will tell you the "language" you specified isn't supported. In case #4, it will tell you the script itself is invalid.

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.
