Jack, I've posted a complete recipe for running two Solr indices
within one Jetty 6 container:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrJetty
Scroll down to the part that says:
(7/2007 MattKangas) The recipe above didn't work for me with Jetty
6.1.3.
...
I'm glossing over a lot of details, so attached is a tarball with a
known-good configuration that runs two Solr instances inside one
Jetty container. I'm using Solr 1.2.0 and Jetty 6.1.3 respectively.
Hope this helps,

figured
out how to run multiple indices on single instance of jetty but it
has to
be jetty plus. I guess jetty doesn't allow this? I suppose I can add
additional jars and make it work but I haven't tried that. It'll
always be much safer/simpler/less playing around if a feature is
available out of box.
I'm mentioning this again because I really think it's a desirable
feature,
especially because each JVM uses a lot of memory and sometimes it's
not possible to start a new jetty for each index due to memory
limitation.
I understand I can use a type field and mix doc types but this is not
ideal for two reasons:
1. it's easier to maintain separate indices. I can just wipe out all
the files and re-post an individual index. Much less posting work to
do as opposed to re-posting all docs. Or I can move one index to
another partition, or even to another server to run separately in
order to scale up. It'll be a problem (although solvable by deleting
and re-posting) with a mixed index.
2. my understanding is that mixed index means larger index files and
slower performance
JettyPlus's download links seem to be broken so I wasn't able to check
its download size. If not too big, maybe JettyPlus is an option?
If not, there should be a way to have this feature implemented on solr
side? Maybe by prefixing the REST URLs with index names...
