: If the only servlet I intend to run on my production server is SOLR, : then why not use Jetty? Does anyone on the list have experience using
Just to clarify: therees no particular reason why Jetty would be a better choice just if your only need for a servlet container is Solr. the Solr example app has jetty in it just because at the time we set it up, Jetty was the simplest/smallest servlet container we found that could be run easily in a cross platform way (ie: "java -jar start.jar") that shouldn't be interpreted as a recomendation that Solr runs better under Jetty -- just that Jetty made doing the demo easier. I personally have a lot of experience with Resin -- but that's just because It's what my work uses. From what I've seen of Tomcat and Jetty I like Tomcat a lot more then Jetty because the configuration just seems to make a hell of a lot more sense, and I can find a lot more documentation on it -- I have no idea which one Solr performs better in. -Hoss
