: I've specified shared lib as "lib" in the solr.xml file. My assumption : being this will be the lib under solr-home. : However my cores cannot load classes from any new jar's placed in this : dir after a tomcat restart.
Specifying a relative path for sharedLib in your solr.xml file may not be relative to the SOLR_HOME -- i'm not sure. it may be relative the CWD of the JVM. Solr will log any jars loaded on startup, so it's easy enough to verify exactly where it's looking. -Hoss
