Custom Document Filter - Problem with ClassNotFoundException

[Johannes Fleck]

I am developing a custom document filter. So far I have created a project in eclipse, added jar files necessary and successfully built a jar file with my own document filter.

Or at least I think it was...

When it comes to configuring the document filter in the file 'connectorInstance.xml' something goes wrong and its seems the jar file cannot be found in the class path...

The Java package has the following classpath :

com.google.enterprise.connector.util.filter.DocFilterWildCardSearch
or also tried the following path
com.kapsch.gsa.filter.DocFilterWildCardSearch

I copied the 'DocFilterWildCardSearch.jar' file into the following path:
C:\Program Files\GoogleConnectors\GSAConnectors1\Tomcat\webapps\connector-manager\WEB-INF\lib

Restarted the connector and got the following error message:
full log file please see attachement ...

Nov 20, 2013 4:50:29 PM [Init] com.google.enterprise.connector.servlet.StartUp doStartup
SEVERE: Connector Manager Startup failed:

at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionValueResolver.resolveValueIfNecessary(BeanDefinitionValueResolver.java:117)


What step am I missing to make the connector find the class ??


thanks
Johannes
