So it seems that I got Tomcat to recognize where solr is with this
conf/Catalina/localhost/solr.xml:
<Context
docBase="/usr/local/apache-solr-1.2.0/dist/apache-solr-1.2.0.war"
debug="0"
crossContext="true" >
<Environment name="solr/home"
value="/usr/local/apache-solr-1.2.0"
type="java.lang.String"
override="true" />
</Context>
But still, there's still some problem (see below). Thank you for all of
the help, it's good stuff to know.
Also, the Tomcat page for Context says:
-----
You may define as many *Context* elements as you wish. Each such Context
MUST have a unique context path. In addition, a Context must be present
with a context path equal to a zero-length string. This Context becomes
the /default/ web application for this virtual host, and is used to
process all requests that do not match any other Context's context path.
------
Which also isn't clear to me. "...context path equal to a zero-length
string?" I guess I'm misunderstanding what "context path" is. It seems
to me that this describes "localhost/solr.xml." Am I missing something
here?
