Newbie with Java + typo
Hi people First the typo on http://wiki.apache.org/solr/mySolr: Production Typically it's not recommended do have your front end it should probably be ..recommended To have.. Second, I don't know much about Java, nor about Jetty/Resin/JBoss/ Tomcat. I went through the tutorial and was impressed with how easy it all seemed. Until the tutorial ended.. As a newbie, should I use Tomcat, JBoss, Resin, Jetty or the thing that comes with the example (Jetty, or?)? All the installation pages talk about this and that that doesn't make much sense to non-Java people like myself :-/ Would be MUCH appreciated with some after-tutorial page for us newbies. Right now I'm just looking for something that can be used on a production level machine. It doesn't have to be the fastest, as long as it's fairly easy to install. Recommendations and pointers are very welcome :) Thanks in advance! / d

Daniel: As a fellow 'non-java' person I feel your pain (well, felt it anyway). A lot depends on your load and the machine, but I successfully ran the stock jetty system on a box last summer for work and didn't have performance problems. The bigger issue was from the other java people complaining that I hadn't used the standard jboss setup they had already working. However, I didnt' have access to that machine, nor would anyone give it to me at the time, so it was a catch 22. Performance-wise, the stock jetty will probably do just fine for you. Longer term, you may want to learn more about jboss or tomcat or something else which can give you more application management options and such. But don't let those things stop you from running jetty/solr in production - it's worked fine for me.

As a newbie, should I use Tomcat, JBoss, Resin, Jetty or the thing that comes with the example (Jetty, or?)? Solr is servlet container agnostic -- it should run equally well on any of them. Most people are constrained to use what they are already using. If you really have no preference, perhaps stick with the jetty one included in the example.

Everyone you ask will give you a different answer ;) but the three containers that are most used by solr developers are jetty, resin an tomcat. ryan
