Solr 5.5 doesn't have a .war file -- that file is no longer built when Solr is compiled. Instead, the webapp is copied directly to solr-webapp. The end result is the same, but the container no longer needs to extract the .war file on startup. https://wiki.apache.org/solr/WhyNoWar If you are creating the customized version by modifying the Solr source and building, then you should be able to do the same with 5.5 and get a webapp that's got your changes in it. If you are creating the customized version by adding to the .war file, then you should be able to do the same thing with 5.5, but you will be modifying the webapp directly, rather than editing a .war file.
