You *can* run Solr 5.0 (and 5.1) in another container, just like you could with all previous Solr versions. There are additional steps that have to be taken, such as correctly installing the logging jars and the logging config, but if you've used Solr 4.3 or later, you already know this: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrLogging Eventually, hopefully before we reach the 6.0 release, that kind of deployment won't be possible, because Solr will be a true application (like Jetty itself), not a webapp contained in a .war file. It may take us quite a while to reach that point. If you are already using the scripts that come with Solr 5.x, you will have a seamless transition to the new implementation. The docs for 5.0 say that we aren't supporting deployment in a third-party servlet container, even though that still is possible. There are several reasons for this: * Eventually it won't be possible, because Solr's implementation will change. * We now have scripts that will start Solr in a consistent manner. ** This means that our instructions won't have to change for a new implementation. * There are a LOT of containers available. ** Each one requires different instructions. ** Are problems caused by the container, or Solr? We may not know. * Jetty is the only container that gets tested. ** Bugs with other containers have happened. ** User feedback is usually the only way such bugs can be found. Thanks, Shawn
