Hello, my company currently develops a search engine based on lucene, solr and droids. I checked out the latest trunk version of droids.
Building a crawler based on spring I followed the suggestions made in /droids-spring/src/main/resources/org/apache/droids/dynamic/droids-core-context.xml and there is a minor error. The SysoutCrawlingDroid class is located under the test folder and so it is not available at runtime. The bean org.apache.droids.api.Droid/hello should also be defined in the test config file. java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError ... Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Cannot find class [org.apache.droids.impl.SysoutCrawlingDroid] for bean with name ... 26 more Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.droids.impl.SysoutCrawlingDroid Maybe it has something to do with https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DROIDS-89 I fixed it by moving this definition to the test configuration. Thanks Tobias
