I found that the JNDI settings for Tomcat6 were hard to figure out.
Would someone be willing to write it up for the wiki? Since I think
most people getting started with SOLR will be using Tomcat6 (or
Jetty), it would make sense to update the docs a bit to make it easier
to figure out the proper place and way to set all this up.
Even just a link to this thread in some archive would help.

Or, instead of messing around with the JNDI setting, simply set -
Dsolr.solr.home=/opt/solr.... with the JVM startup parameters for
Tomcat. Hardcoding a path in web.xml is definitely _not_ what we
want to do. Not all containers unpack the WAR file onto disk.
Also, consider the case of upgrading to a newer version of Solr
after having tweaked web.xml.

What was the original thinking behind not having solr/home set in
the web.xml -- seems like an easier way to deal with this.
I would imagine most people are more familiar with setting params
in web.xml than manually creating Contexts for their webapp...
In fact I would take a step further and have a default value of /
opt/solr (or whatever...) and if a specific user wants to change it
they can just edit their web.xml?
This would simplify the documentation, instead of configure your
stuff in the Context -- it becomes "this is the default", copy
example/solr to /opt/solr (or we have a script do it) and deploy
the .war

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...
