Replace Jetty vs. Glassfish with Linux vs. Windows, Eclipse vs. Idea, emacs vs. vi, Java vs. C#... There are many reasons for a corporation to prefer one product over another. One common one is the wish to support as few different platforms as possible: Better the devil you know. We're still on Solr 4.x and deploy it in a tomcat, as that is what Operations prefer to use. From their perspective, Solr is just another thing to run among all the other WARs we throw at them. We will switch away from tomcat when upgrading to Solr 5, but our upgrade has been delayed so far (partly) because of that change. This is a recurring discussion. A list of the merits & drawbacks of going WAR-less (or more to the point: Require Solr to be run as an application instead of in a generic container) might be an idea? - Toke Eskildsen
