Error while deploying Solr 3.5 on Jboss 5.1 - jboss

Question

I am trying to deploy solr 3.5 in Jboss 5.1 server. I've modified the
WEB-INF\web.xml to set the solr home by adding the following:
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>solr/home</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
<env-entry-value>E:\apache-solr-3.5.0\example\solr</env-entry-value>
</env-entry>
Now when I start jboss I get this error. The wiki says remove
xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar
and xml-apis-1.3.03.jar from WEB-INF\lib in solr.war. But I don't see these
jars in that location for Solr 3.5.
Thanks.

Answer 1

It is late to post an answer, perhaps, but the solution was so easy (and time-consuming, if you do not already know it!) that I thought I had to share it! Hoping this helps…
Uncomment the block looking like this:
<!-- People who want to hardcode their "Solr Home" directly into the
WAR File can set the JNDI property here...
-->
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>/solr/home</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-value>/the/path/to/your/solr/home</env-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
but put the env-entry node as the last child of the web-app node, and not as the first (like in the original web.xml file).
Then you're gone.
I personally tested it on a JBoss AS 6.0.0 installation over a Ubuntu Linux machine (OpenJDK for Java v. 1.6.0_24 / IcedTea6 1.11.4), with Solr 3.6.1.
