NullPointerException when posting file

[Mike <mp...@comcast.net>]

Hi,

I'm trying to get SOLR up and running with a simple example of my own. The
sample data files provided in the example/exampledocs directory import
flawlessly, as well as querying for their contents through the admin UI. I
know I'm missing something basic, but I just can't figure it out :) I
apologize in advance if this is terribly obvious. 

The attached sample.txt is my sample XML file consisting of four data
fields. When I post this document to SOLR, I get a null pointer exception
(see exception.txt for actual command and output). I'm using the default
schema.xml with some minor changes to the <fields> section to match my
sample data. I also add three of these fields to the "text" field to combine
them together.

If it matters, I'm using Apache Tomcat 5.5.20. In the
conf/Catalina/localhost/solr.xml file, I have:

"""
<Context docBase="solr.war" debug="0" crossContext="true" >
   <Environment name="solr/home" type="java.lang.String"
value="/var/lib/solr_bg" override="true" />
</Context>
"""

Thanks for your time.

Mike

Hi Yonik,

I guess I was almost there, but not quite :) I changed the field type to
"integer" and got a step further. I have a bit of tweaking to, so I'll see
how far I get.

Indeed, I do see the "Unknown fieldtype 'int'" in localhost.2006-12-19.log.
I guess I looked over that with all of the other verbose messages.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Mike

OK, there is a problem with your schema.xml "int" is not a defined
fieldtype... use "integer" or "sint" (see the fieldtype section of
schema.xml)

If you look through your log files, you should see an exception message
telling you this:

15:39:49.494 WARN!! [main]
org.mortbay.jetty.Server.main(Server.java:465) >08> EXCEPTION
org.mortbay.util.MultiException[org.apache.solr.core.SolrException:
Unknown fieldtype 'int']

OK, there is a problem with your schema.xml
"int" is not a defined fieldtype... use "integer" or "sint" (see the

Hi Yonik,

Yes, I only included the part that I customized. Attached is the complete
file.

Also, the build of SOLR I'm running is from 12/19/2006.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Is the attached schema the whole thing?  It looks like the first half of the
file is missing.
