: It works excellently in Tomcat 6. The toughest thing I had to deal with is : discovering that the environment variable in web.xml for solr/home is : essential. If you skip that step, it won't come up.
no, there's no reason why you should need to edit the web.xml file ... the solr/home property can be set in a <Context> configuration using an <Environment> directive without ever opening the solr.war. See this section of the tomcat docs for me details... http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html#Environment%20Entries : <env-entry> : <env-entry-name>solr/home</env-entry-name> : <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type> : <env-entry-value>F:\Tomcat-6.0.14\webapps\solr</env-entry-value> : </env-entry> -Hoss
