SOLR-3159 will bring Jetty 8 to Solr trunk. It mentions that the JDK is
required for JSP under Jetty 8 (and getting rid of JSP in Solr), which
probably means that Apache can't put it into branch_3x. My systems use
the JDK, so I would not expect that to be a problem for me. Solr is not
directly accessible to the outside world, so I am not worried about any
security implications associated with having the JDK installed. I'm
running 3.5.0 with a couple of patches installed.
I downloaded the Jetty 8 distribution and noticed that it has a lot more
files in etc/ than the example Solr, which just has jetty.xml. I am
using a setup based on the Solr example. Would I need all these new
config files, or is the jetty.xml that I already have enough?
Thanks,
Shawn
