We are using Solr running on Tomcat.

I think the top reasons for us are :
 - we already have nagios monitoring plugins for tomcat that trace
queries ok/error, http codes / response time etc in access logs, number
of threads, jvm memory usage etc
 - start, stop, watchdogs, logs : we also use our standard tools for that
 - what about security filters ? Is that possible with jetty ?

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.
