I have been running Solr with Tomcat, and I recently wrote a Quartz program that starts and stops Tomcat, starts Solr indexing jobs, and does a few other things. When I start Tomcat programmatically in this way, Solr starts initializing, and when it hits the text_ws field type in schema.xml, it throws an exception saying that it can't find the SynonymFilter class. text_ws refers to solr.SynonymFilterFactory, which must need to find lucene.SynonymFilter, and I am guessing it is the first Lucene class encountered while initializing the schema that isn't in lucene-core.jar.
I thought it would be easy to fix this by looking through the solr config files for the location where it specifies where it looks for Lucene jar files, and check to make sure that both the lucene-core and lucene-analyzers jar files are there. I see where there is a line in the solrconfig.xml file that says <luceneMatchVersion>LUCENE_36</luceneMatchVersion>, but not one that says to look for the Lucene jar files in a particular directory. Are the Lucene jar files packaged in the solr.war file? I also looked for directories that contain Lucene jar files within my Solr project, which is called tiudocumentsearch, and the one I found was in tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/tiudocumentsearch/WEB-INF/lib, but the lucene-core and lucene-analyzers jar files are both there. So the two things I am asking for help in figuring out are how to indicate to Solr where the lucene-analyzers.jar file is, so it can find the SynonymFilters class during initialization, and why this exception isn't thrown when I start Tomcat for this Solr project in a command prompt window, but it occurs when I start Tomcat from a Java application. I am using Solr and Lucene 3.6. Thank you for any help or suggestions you can provide, Mike
