Hi, Reading that people have considered deploying "example" folder is slightly strange to me. No wonder they are confused and confuse their ops. We just took vanilla jetty (jetty9) and installed solr.war on it, configured it, no example folders at all. Since then it works nicely. The main reason

So, it sounds like that either Solr is treated as a webapp, in which case it is installed with most of the webapps under Tomcat (legacy/operational reason). So, Solr docs just needs to explain how to deploy under Tomcat and the rest of document/tooling comes from Tomcat community. Or, if Solr is t

In our case, it is because all our other applications are deployed on Tomcat and ops is familiar with the deployment process. We also had customizations that needed to go in, so we inserted our custom JAR into the solr.war's WEB-INF/lib directory, so to ops the process of deploying Solr was (almost

As an aside, I think one reason people feel compelled to deviate from the distributed jetty distribution is because the folder is named "example".

I personally felt Tomcat to be in a more appropriate community, that of the Apache Foundation, than Jetty. Also, jetty always has been striving for simplicity and that's really not always what you intend to when you plan an app-server. E.g. features such as the manager or mod_ajp appeared import

We are using Solr running on Tomcat. I think the top reasons for us are : - we already have nagios monitoring plugins for tomcat that trace queries ok/error, http codes / response time etc in access logs, number of threads, jvm memory usage etc - start, stop, watchdogs, logs : we also use our s
