NoClassDefFoundError usually means that the class was found, but it needs other classes and those were not found. That is, Solr finds the ExtractingRequestHandler jar but cannot find the Tika jars.
In example/solr/conf/slrconfig.xml, there are several '<lib dir="path"/>' elements. These give classpath directories and jar files to include when loading classes (and resource files). Try adding the paths for your Tika jars as <lib/> directives. On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 9:02 PM, Steve Reichgut <sreich...@axtaweb.com> wrote: > Sure.
