Hello, I keep seeing here and on Stack Overflow people trying to deploy Solr to Tomcat. We don't usually ask why, just help when where we can.
But the question happens often enough that I am curious. What is the actual business case. Is that because Tomcat is well known? Is it because other apps are running under Tomcat and it is ops' requirement? Is it because Tomcat gives something - to Solr - that Jetty does not? It might be useful to know. Especially, since Solr team is considering making the server part into a black box component. What use cases will that break? So, if somebody runs Solr under Tomcat (or needed to and gave up), let's use this thread to collect this knowledge. Regards, Alex.
