Be aware that you still have to setup tomcat to run Solr on the right port - and you also have to provide the port to Solr on startup. With jetty we do both with -Djetty.port - with Tomcat you have to setup Tomcat to run on the right port *and* tell Solr what that port is. By default that means also passing -Djetty.port - but you can change that to whatever you want in solr.xml (to hostPort or solr.port or whatever).
The problem is that it's difficult for a webapp to find what ports it's running on - you can only do it when a request actually comes in to my knowledge. - Mark On Dec 5, 2012, at 1:05 PM, Bill Au <bill.w...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am using tomcat.
