Hi, See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrJBoss#Configuring_Solr_Home for instructions (scroll down and look for the JNDI options). The problem is that SOLR_HOME must be known to JBoss, otherwise the webapp cannot locate any files from the config.
In general it is not recommended to install Solr inside a custom webapp container (means installing the WAR file in tomcat, jboss or whatever). You should use the included web engine (provided by jetty) with a recent JDK version. The example folder has a start.jar. You can start the correctly configured Jetty engine with solr by running "java -jar start.jar" from the example folder. Future versions of Solr may no longer ship with a WAR file because it causes too many problems, because Solr does not work well with other webapps in the same JVM (it has very special garbage collection and memory requirements), so it should run as a separate server in a separate VM.
