The problem is now solved.

This problem occurred because dataimporthandler and requesthandler are loaded by two different class loaders. To solve it, ensure that solr loads its jars only from the same class loader.

First of all I ensured that :

1) In solrconfig.xml remove ensure that dataimporthandler only comes from one place 2) I have commented all directives and added new one that refers to lib directory in solr directory so the lib directory path is example/solr/lib , this directory doesn't exists by default. Create it (for example using mkdir solr/lib) and the lib directive in solrconfig.xml becomes

<lib dir="./solr/lib"/>

3) Add the jar file from dist directory to this directory example/solr/lib
4) Fire up your solr server

And don't forget to copy your mysql-driver jar to your include path to be able to index your mysql database tables if you use dataimporthandler for this purpose

Note: This works for solr 4.0
