Hi, This may be a naive question but do we really need to have solr.solr.home variable for solr installation? It is a bit annoying modifying tomcat settings in automated install. If I create a packaged application, how do I ensure a normal user would be able to install it without having to modify tomcat batch or shell files (or service settings in case of msi installer)? If not possible what will be the easiest way to automate the process (cross platform)?
Also, is it possible to run solr without needing to host it in a http container? Why do we need webapp to index or query?? Ravi
