Error: Solr Integration with AEM 6.4

[abkhandelwal]

I'm not able to integrate Solr 7.5 with AEM 6.4,

getting the following error:

I have tried with almost every version of Solr, but I am getting the same error again and again!

I am simply following this tutorial:

Adobe Experience Manager Help | Integrating SOLR with Adobe Experience Manager

But, in this tutorial, apache.felix.scr.annotations are used. I am just replacing these annotations with osgi annotations.

[abkhandelwal]

I am using AEM 6.5 and solr version 8 and facing same issue. Is there any solution for this error?

[#3 · Accepted solution]

Here is the new article with R6 annotations working - along with a video.

Adobe Experience Manager Help | Integrating SOLR with Adobe Experience Manager 6.4

@Component

public class SolrSearchServiceImpl implements SolrSearchService

One difference here is we show new way of reading OSGi config values for this use case. This involves these annotations:

package com.adobe.aem.core;

import org.osgi.service.metatype.annotations.AttributeDefinition;

import org.osgi.service.metatype.annotations.AttributeType;

import org.osgi.service.metatype.annotations.ObjectClassDefinition;

@ObjectClassDefinition(name = "AEM Solr Search - Solr Configuration Service", description = "Service Configuration")

public @interface MySimpleService {

    @AttributeDefinition(name = "Protocol", defaultValue ="http", description = "Configuration value")

    String protocolValue();

    @AttributeDefinition(name = "Solr Server Name", defaultValue ="localhost", description = "Server name or IP address")

    String serverName();

    @AttributeDefinition(name = "Solr Server Port", defaultValue ="8983", description = "Server port")

    String serverPort();

    @AttributeDefinition(name = "Solr Core Name", defaultValue ="collection", description = "Core name in solr server")

    String serverCollection();

    @AttributeDefinition(name = "Content page path", defaultValue ="/content/we-retail", description = "Content page path from where solr has to index the pages")

    String serverPath();

}

I will include a video too in the new article and show everything!

[#5]

The article you referenced is for AEM 6.2. I am gonig to test this on 6.4 and we will update the article. Updating the OSGi to R6 and the dependencies will be part of this updated article.

[#6]

Do you think is there a chance you guys could update a more recent Solr version? That makes the big difference on this issues though. That would be really awesome 🙂

We are getting the same kind of problems when trying to do the same project on the article (sing archetype 22) and different Solr versions, higher than 7.1

Thanks,

Juan

I ran into the same issue and I fixed it by manually installing the bundle in Web Console from my local maven repository. After that, the bundle will resolve the dependency and the service can be activated.

Note that I'm using Solr 7.5 and tried both jars from org.apache.servicemix.bundles.solr-solrj and org.apache.solr.solr-solrj, but installing org.apache.solr.solr-solrj failed with error: java.io.IOException: Bundle-SymbolicName header missing, cannot install bundle.

BTW, I hope someone can explain what the difference is, but org.apache.servicemix.bundles.solr-solrj jar is bigger in size than org.apache.solr.solr-solrj.

Lucas

[abkhandelwal]

i'm also getting same issue whie interating with solr 8.1

[abkhandelwal]

am facing the same issue.How did you resolve it ?

[#10]

Please use OSGi Annotations in that article!

and Thank you so much for your help!

[#11]

Okay, I have tried to replicate this project, But I don't know why my OSGi bundle is not getting resolved! It is getting installed!

but again the same error is coming!

[#12]

I keep Felix Annotations for now - my main concern was getting the code to work in AEM 6.4. I am writing up the article now.

[#13]

Are you using OSGI Annotations? and can you please send me the SOLR dependencies which you've used in this project.

[#14]

The component also displays data from SOLR IN 6.4 --

[#15]

I have AEM 6.4 and SOLR working. The Index was successful. We used We Retail too for AEM 6.4.

We will update this AEM SOLR article for AEM 6.4.

[#16]

This will be part of the new article - need to test front end logic now.

[#17]

I got the bundle into Active State on 6.4.

[#18]

Yes, I have tried this dependency. But my bundle is not getting installed and I am getting the same error: cannot be resolved

[#19]

Sure, Thanks by the way.

Just one small request, Could you please update it as soon as possible!

[#20]

Dear Mayanky,

Please find patch that updates SolrJ library to 7.5.0. This code stil uses SCR, only the changes needed to update SolrJ library bundled here to 7.5 have been performed.

Hi Mayanky,

If you simply follow this tutorial and install the package with SCR annotations, it does work even on AEM 6.4 SP2.

At least to the point where you can see the bundle started. Following services are registered as well:

Service ID 8543	Types: com.adobe.aem.core.SolrServerConfiguration Service PID: com.adobe.aem.core.impl.SolrServerConfigurationImpl Component Name: com.adobe.aem.core.impl.SolrServerConfigurationImpl Component ID: 4256 Vendor: Adobe
Service ID 8544	Types: javax.servlet.Servlet Service PID: com.adobe.aem.core.servlets.DeleteIndexesFromSolr Component Name: com.adobe.aem.core.servlets.DeleteIndexesFromSolr Component ID: 4257 Vendor: Adobe
Service ID 8545	Types: org.apache.sling.spi.resource.provider.ResourceProvider Description: ServletResourceProvider for Servlets at [/bin/solr/delete/all/indexes, /bin/solr/delete/all/indexes.servlet]
Service ID 8546	Types: org.apache.sling.spi.resource.provider.ResourceProvider Description: ServletResourceProvider for Servlets at [/bin/solr/delete/all/indexes, /bin/solr/delete/all/indexes.servlet]
Service ID 8547	Types: com.adobe.aem.core.SolrSearchService Service PID: com.adobe.aem.core.impl.SolrSearchServiceImpl Component Name: com.adobe.aem.core.impl.SolrSearchServiceImpl Component ID: 4259 Vendor: Adobe
Service ID 8548	Types: javax.servlet.Servlet Service PID: com.adobe.aem.core.servlets.IndexContentToSolr Component Name: com.adobe.aem.core.servlets.IndexContentToSolr Component ID: 4258 Vendor: Adobe
Service ID 8549	Types: org.apache.sling.spi.resource.provider.ResourceProvider Description: ServletResourceProvider for Servlets at [/bin/solr/push/pages.servlet, /bin/solr/push/pages]
Service ID 8550	Types: org.apache.sling.spi.resource.provider.ResourceProvider Description: ServletResourceProvider for Servlets at [/bin/solr/push/pages.servlet, /bin/solr/push/pages]

The tutorial itself uses Solr version 5.4.1. It adds Solr jar as a jar in class path:

Bundle Classpath.,OSGI-INF/lib/org.apache.servicemix.bundles.solr-solrj-5.4.1_1.jar,OSGI-INF/lib/log4j-1.2.16.jar,OSGI-INF/lib/noggit-0.5.jar,OSGI-INF/lib/zookeeper-3.4.5.jar

Which should allow you to work. So, in your case, to upgrade it to Solr 7, you would need to update your pom.xml to Solr 7 Jar's (including all of the new Jar's that need to be included in classpath for Solr 7).

Regards,

Peter

Is this the Maven dependency you are using ? I tried it but the jars are not reflecting in my build . Could you share the maven dependency you used. I can try it out and check

Thanks

[#23]

bsloki​ I have checked almost every version of Solr from 5.0 -> 7.0 +, but nothing is working! Just getting the same error again and again!

[#24]

Please check the dependency version of solrj.

You can check the version by giving the package here - /system/console/depfinder
