Noble Paul commented on SOLR-1408: ---------------------------------- I suspect that this should not be a problem . DataSource.class is loaded by the parent classloader of ${solr.home}/lib classloader. So by design it is not supposed to throw a ClassCastException > Allow classes from ${solr.home}/lib to be loaded by the same classloader as > solr war to prevent ClassCastException > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SOLR-1408 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1408 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: contrib - DataImportHandler > Affects Versions: 1.3 > Reporter: Luke Forehand > > When extending org.apache.solr.handler.dataimport.DataSource, I would like to > package my extended class in ${solr.home}/lib to that I can keep the vanilla > copy of my solr.war intact.
