Manual sharding typically does *not* involve multiple contexts (webapps) in your container. One instance of Solr (using, for example, the /solr context) can handle many cores. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Solr+Cores+and+solr.xml This functionality is available in *any* container that Solr supports, including both Tomcat and Jetty. Thanks, Shawn
