: Have any of you tried keeping jetty running with the example solr on your : box for a few days? If not, maybe you can try it.
I've left the "java -jar start.jar" Solr example running for several days before ... i can't honestly remember if i've ever checked that the admin JSP pages still work though. : There makes me worries about using jetty as the server, I'll try tomcat and First off, don't assume that just because you had problems with the very simplistic Jetty setup that comes in the exampl directory that means Jetty has osmething inheriently wrong with it... that's just designed to showcase what Solr can do without requiring people to jump through hoops to setup a Servlet Container ... if you install Jetty from scratch you may find it does a better job of logging errors, and it's reliability may be higher. There's also "JettyPlus" which you may want to look into, but Tomcat may be a better way to go in the long run. : see whether it has no such problem. BTW, what's the servlet containers the : big clients are using in production? We use the comercial version of Resin, but that decision was not made within my scope of knowledge/influence so i can't say that there is a motivating technical reason why you should/shouldn't consider it compared to tomcat, or jetty, or any other servlet container available. -Hoss
