Hi Guys, I'm trying to integrate spring with elasticsearch using [https://github.com/dadoonet/spring-elasticsearch](https://github.com/dadoonet/spring-elasticsearch). And I'm wondering whether I can setup plugins like 'ik analyzer' or 'river plugin' in my app while integrating ES and spring. Following the guide, I have my es.properties under src folder, and I identified the path.data, path.plugins and path.conf directories, and I have the customer analyzer defined as below: index.analysis.analyzer.ansj.type="ansj". However, while doing river, I got the exception message: org.elasticsearch.indices.IndexCreationException: [\_river] failed to create index at org.elasticsearch.indices.InternalIndicesService.createIndex(InternalIndicesService.java:289) at org.elasticsearch.cluster.metadata.MetaDataCreateIndexService$1.execute(MetaDataCreateIndexService.java:241) at org.elasticsearch.cluster.service.InternalClusterService$2.run(InternalClusterService.java:208) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: org.elasticsearch.ElasticSearchIllegalArgumentException: failed to find analyzer type ["ansj"] or tokenizer for [ansj] at org.elasticsearch.index.analysis.AnalysisModule.configure(AnalysisModule.java:372) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.AbstractModule.configure(AbstractModule.java:60) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.spi.Elements$RecordingBinder.install(Elements.java:201) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.spi.Elements.getElements(Elements.java:82) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.InjectorShell$Builder.build(InjectorShell.java:130) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.InjectorBuilder.build(InjectorBuilder.java:99) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.InjectorImpl.createChildInjector(InjectorImpl.java:129) at org.elasticsearch.common.inject.ModulesBuilder.createChildInjector(ModulesBuilder.java:66) at org.elasticsearch.indices.InternalIndicesService.createIndex(InternalIndicesService.java:287) ... 5 more Caused by: org.elasticsearch.common.settings.NoClassSettingsException: Failed to load class setting [type] with value ["ansj"] at org.elasticsearch.common.settings.ImmutableSettings.getAsClass(ImmutableSettings.java:243) at org.elasticsearch.index.analysis.AnalysisModule.configure(AnalysisModule.java:356) ... 13 more Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: "ansj" at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1680) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1526) at org.elasticsearch.common.settings.ImmutableSettings.getAsClass(ImmutableSettings.java:227) ... 14 more It seems the integrated ES service can't recognize ansj settings:index.analysis.analyzer.ansj.type="ansj". ... I'm quite puzzled, this configuration works when without integrating.. At first, I think ES didn't load my plugins directory.. But river & head plugin did work well.. And while river with default analyzer, it works fine... I don't know how to integrate customer analyzer with my app while using [https://github.com/dadoonet/spring-elasticsearch](https://github.com/dadoonet/spring-elasticsearch). Can anyone help? Thanks a ton, Spancer ---

Hi, Did you try to add your plugin as a maven dependency in your pom.xml file? It could be easier to manage it. ## HTH David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 11 déc. 2012 à 03:54, spancer ray [spancer.roc.ray@gmail.com](mailto:spancer.roc.ray@gmail.com) a écrit : > Hi Guys, > > I'm trying to integrate spring with elasticsearch using > [GitHub - dadoonet/spring-elasticsearch: Spring factories for elasticsearch](https://github.com/dadoonet/spring-elasticsearch). > > And I'm wondering whether I can setup plugins like 'ik analyzer' or 'river > plugin' in my app while integrating ES > > and spring.
