: In 5.0 "the new way" is to not use a servlet container, just use the : start/stop scripts.
More specifically... https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Major+Changes+from+Solr+4+to+Solr+5 Internally, Solr is still implemented via Servlet APIs and is powered by Jetty -- but this is simply an implementation detail. Deployment as a "webapp" to other Servlet Containers (or other instances of Jetty) is not supported, and may not work in future 5.x versions of Solr when additional changes are likely to be made to Solr internally to leverage custom networking stack features. -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
