[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-9231) SolrInputDocument no-args constructor removed without notice

["Shawn Heisey (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9231?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15576356#comment-15576356 ] 

Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-9231:
------------------------------------

Interesting problem.  I guess the underlying question is ... what sort of API guarantees do we intend to honor for SolrJ?

I think the removal of the no-arg constructor fits with a policy of "typical API usage will continue to compile with a minor-version update."  IMHO, your usage is not typical.  Classloaders and other things that utilize method signatures are an advanced kind of Java programming.

A more strict guarantee of "code compiled against SolrJ X.Y will work if the jar is upgraded in place to version X.Z" would be required for your usage.  It may be reasonable for users to expect this kind of guarantee, but apparently whoever removed the constructor did not share this opinion.

>             Project: Solr
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: SolrJ

>         Environment: Lucee (or ColdFusion) loading SolrJ using separate URLClassLoader instance)
>            Reporter: Tim Parker

> In 6.0.1 and previous, SolrInputDocument provided two constructors - one with no arguments, the other accepting a Map object.  As of 6.1.0, the no-arguments constructor is replaced with one that accepts zero or more strings.
> With 6.0.1, this worked:
> cls = LoadClass("org.apache.solr.common.SolrInputDocument");
> Constructor foo = cls.getConstructor();
> This fails with Solr 6.1.0
> We get the same error after updating the code to this:
> cls = LoadClass("org.apache.solr.common.SolrInputDocument");
> Class[] argArray = new Class[0];
> Constructor foo = cls.getConstructor(argArray);
> Are we missing something?  If not, please restore the missing no-arguments constructor.
