I know that the Solr FAQ says "Users should decide for themselves which Servlet Container they consider the easiest/best for their use cases based on their needs/experience. For high traffic scenarios, investing time for tuning the servlet container can often make a big difference."
but is there anywhere that lists some of the variosu advantages and disadvantages of, say, Tomcat over Jetty for someone who isn't current with the Java ecosystem? Also, I'm currently using Jetty but I've had to do a horrific hack to make it work under init.d in that I start it up in the background and then tail the output waiting for the line that says the SocketConnector has been started while [ '' = "$(tail -1 $LOG | grep 'Started SocketConnector')" ] ; do sleep 1 done There's *got* to be a better way of doing this, right? Thanks, Simon
