I am getting an exception trying to use update/extract with PDF files
My Set up is:- Ubuntu Server 11.10 Tomcat 6 Solr 3.5.0.2011.11.22.15.54.38
I can browse to solr/admin OK
I have put all the contrib/extract and apache-solr-cell3.5.0.jar libraries into the tomcat folder webapps/solr/WEB-INF/lib
I am calling extract using:-
curl "http://localhost:8080/solr/update/extract?uprefix=attr_&fmap.content=attr_content&commit=true" -F "file=/path/to/my.pdf"
error is
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tika/mime/MimeTypeException

Would appreciate any pointers - the only time this error seems to come up elsewhere is with Nutch and cached results.
I have tried sending the mimetype in the querystring and also a *.doc file but got the same error.
This was due to the basic error of copying the necessary tika libraries (to tomcat6/webapps/solr/WEB-INF/lib) but leaving ownership of the jar files as ROOT instead of chown-ing them to TOMCAT6. After setting the right permission and restarting Tomcat it started working OK
