: Hi! Solr is starting up "dormant" for me, until a client wake it up with a : REST request, or I open admin UI, only then the remaining initializing : happens. : Is it something known?
based on my recollection of the servlet spec, that sounds like a bug/glitch/config option in your Servlet container... Googling "WebSphere init Filters on startup" turns up this IBM bug report with noted fix versions... http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PK86553 : I can't see any load-on-startup in the web.xml, in Solr.war. The bulk of Solr exists as a "Filter". Filters are not permitted by the servlet spec to specify "load-on-startup" value (only Servlets can specify that, and the only Servlets in Solr are for supporting legacy paths -- the load order doesn't matter for them) : Running Solr 4.7.2 over WebSphere 8.5 : : App loading message as the server starts up: : [2/*16*/15 12:17:19:956 GMT] 00000056 ApplicationMg A WSVR0221I: : Application started: solr-4.7.2 : [2/*16*/15 12:17:20:319 GMT] 00000001 WsServerImpl A WSVR0001I: : Server serverSolr open for e-business : The the next start up message in the log is on the next day once I enter : Solr admin UI: : [2/*17*/15 10:20:13:827 GMT] 00000098 SolrDispatchF I : org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter init SolrDispatchFilter.init() : ... : -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
