Hi, I have wrapped Elasticsearch in Tomcat and am using elasticsearch-transport-wares for this purpose. How can I add a plugin to this instance as Im planning to use jdbc river plugin?

Just copy the plugin to any directory that is accessible by the tomcat process and specify this directory in the path.plugins setting of your elasticsearch node.

You can also just add your plugin in the classloader. For example, add it as a maven dependency in your project and that's all. -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr | @scrutmydocs Le 11 sept. 2013 à 15:00, Igor Motov [imotov@gmail.com](mailto:imotov@gmail.com) a écrit : > Just copy the plugin to any directory that is accessible by the tomcat process and specify this directory in the path.plugins setting of your elasticsearch node. > > On Wednesday, September 11, 2013 8:27:42 AM UTC-4, bin wrote: > Hi, > > I have wrapped Elasticsearch in Tomcat and am using elasticsearch-transport-wares for this purpose.

Hi Igor,David, Thanks for your help. I added the river-jdbc jar in WEB-INF/lib. Then I tried the following: curl -XPUT "[http://localhost:9200/\_river/my\_jdbc\_river/\_meta](http://localhost:9200/_river/my_jdbc_river/_meta)" -d '{...}' output: { "error": "IndexMissingException[[\_river] missing]", "status": 404 } Then I created a folder-plugins/river-jdbc and added its jars over there. I configured the elasticsearch.yml to point to the dir. Still I got the same exception. Then I made the plugin mandatory and I got "org.elasticsearch.ElasticSearchException: Missing mandatory plugins [river-jdbc] org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginsService.\(PluginsService.java:99) " BTW, I gave the absolute path for the above.

I did not play with wares plugin. As you are using tomcat, you could try to add all needed libs (and their dependencies!) in: WEB-INF/lib or $CATALINA\_HOME/lib I would recommend to restart tomcat.
