Solr on JBOSS 4.0.3

[Thierry Collogne]

Hello,

We are trying to run Solr on JBOSS 4.0.3, and are heaving an issue.
When we deploy the war and start our server we get a
ExceptionInInitializerError.

This is part of the stacktrace:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: XPathFactory#newInstance() failed to
create an XPathFactory for the default object model:
http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom with the
XPathFactoryConfigurationException:
javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryConfigurationException: No XPathFctory
implementation found for the object model:
http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom
    at javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory.newInstance(Unknown Source)
    at org.apache.solr.core.Config.<clinit>(Config.java:49)


After some searching on google, I found a suggestion to remove all libs from
JBOS_HOME\lib\endorsed

I have tried this on my local machine and it works.
Now the problem is that, due to our infrastructure, it is not really
possible to remove these libraries from our production servers, so we need
to come up with another solution.

The libraries in JBOS_HOME\lib\endorsed are :

             resolver.jar
             xalan.jar
             xercesImpl.jar
             xml-apis.jar


Is there someone who can explain to me what the dependencies are with the
above jar files? Are perhaps offer another solution?

Thank you.

You need to find the right version of those files (probably newer than the
ones in JBoss?) and place them in WEB-INF/lib of Solr. Then Solr should
use them and the rest of the system should not be affected. I'm not sure
how to find those versions other than trying.

Thank you for the suggestion. I downloaded a newer version of JBOSS and then
copied the files from the JBOS_HOME\lib\endorsed to the WEB-INF\lib folder
of Solr.

That solved it.
