The tomcat on my machine can start and run normal webApps but when add Solr jars to the classpath, it keeps saying:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/solr/client/solrj/SolrServerException
I already imported all necessary jars according to the list from http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Solrj
The exception is look like below:

The exception is saying that this class:
org.apache.solr.client.solrj.SolrServerException
cannot be found in the webapp's classpath.
According to the findjar service, that class is defined solr-core-1.3.0.jar and solr-solrj-1.3.0.jar. You may need to update your build procedure to include one of those JARs in the WAR file. (If you are using Maven, add a runtime dependency for the relevant artifact to the POM file ...)
