Then don't tell them that Jetty is involved. They want Solr? Jetty is a dependency. I've heard suggestions that it could be replaced at some point with Netty. Do they have some philosophical objection to Jetty, or just don't want a different servlet container to their preferred one? Personally, I'd try to understand their objection and see if it is possible to help them past it. Moving forwards, if they object to Jetty, they are effectively blocking Solr itself, which seems counter-productive. For now, there are resources out there on how to deploy it - as Shawn said above - you just need to deploy the Solr war, along with some logging jar files into your servlet container, and it should work. Although, for how long... Upayavira
