Thanks Yoav "Drawbacks or limitations compared to what other approach?" I'm talking about using a windows platform.
I've actually been working on a similar project to solr using dotnetlucene and c#. It was not close to being as complete as sobr looks. I guess I'm just questioning using the java project vs. c# considering my background is all Microsoft. The performance drawbacks(if any) of using java on windows and tomcat and IIS together with the redirector is also a concern. > > From: "Yoav Shapira" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2006/03/08 Wed PM 02:52:21 EST > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Windows/IIS user > > Hola, > > > After reviewing solr I am excited about trying it out however I am a > > windows guy.
