Better exception messages for classloader mishaps
-------------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-1425
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1425
Project: Solr
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: search
Affects Versions: 1.3
Reporter: Benson Margulies
If an idiot such as myself tries to specify a filter or such that lives in a
parent classloader, such as the system classloader of a servlet container, Solr
will fail to load it. The JVM is prone to create an exception that mentions
some Solr interface as being missing instead of the filter itself. It would be
less confusing for the miscreant if Solr were to try/catch ClassNotFound and
NoClassDefError and throw its own exception with the name of the thing
specified in the schema included in the message.
