----------------------------------------
Are there existing test cases in this area?
> 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.
