Tor, Yes, we are already doing that as we have a need for faceted search, indexing custom fields etc. I should have asked a little bit more clearly; what I am trying to do is to merge the two webapps into a single module that is have one project that bundles solr and jcr. Current setup is two different web apps and so transaction management is a little tricky that is rolling back data in one system if something fails in the other etc. Wanted to see if anyone has a similar setup and perhaps provide some feedback. The reason we couldn't do it with earlier version of JCR was because it was using an older version of Lucene than SOLR so had to keep them seperate. But now jcr and solr both use 3.x version of lucene so shouldn't be an issue.
