Uwe Schindler commented on SOLR-2586:
-------------------------------------
bq. Bottom line I think, is if someone wants to ensure that Solr works well on
Tomcat for example, then they should make a patch so that our tests test with
this container too (e.g. in hudson, etc). Once its baked in hudson for a while,
then I would say its easy for us to recommend it, too.
That is the hardest task. Jetty is so cool, because it can be used and
configured "embedded". To start up Tomcat, you have to provide final
configuration files in the default folder layout and start a main() static
method from a class. Something so easy like jettyServer.addServletFilter() &
similar things are not possible with Tomcat out of the box. This makes Jetty
(in my opinion) the best servlet container around. I sometimes also use it that
way (embedded in my Java app).

> Key: SOLR-2586
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2586
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build
> Reporter: David Smiley
> Priority: Minor
>
> Firstly, what prompted this issue was me wanting to use a git solr mirror but
> finding that git's lack of empty-directory support made the "example" ant
> task fail. This task requires examples/work to be in place so that it can
> delete its contents. Fixing this was a simple matter of adding:
> {code:xml}
> <mkdir dir="${example}/work" /><!-- in case not there -->
> {code}
> Right before the delete task.
> But then it occurred to me, why even have a "work" directory since Jetty will
> apparently use a temp directory instead. -- try for yourself (stdout snippet):
> bq. 2011-06-11 00:51:26.177:INFO::Extract
> file:/SmileyDev/Search/lucene-solr/solr/example/webapps/solr.war to
> /var/folders/zo/zoQJvqc9E0076p0THiri+k+++TI/-Tmp-/Jetty_0_0_0_0_8983_solr.war__solr__k1kf17/webapp
> On my Mac, this same directory was used for multiple runs, so somehow Jetty
> or the VM figures out how to reuse it.
> Since this "example" setup isn't a *real* installation -- it's just for
> demonstration, arguably it should not contain what it doesn't need.
> Likewise, perhaps the empty example/logs directory should be deleted. It's
> not used by default any way.
