near the bottom of my web.xml (just above </web-app>) i got
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>solr/home</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-value>path/to/solr</env-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
While you're at it you might want to make sure the following line in your
solrconfig.xml is commented out
<!-- <dataDir>${solr.data.dir:./solr/data}</dataDir> -->
next you should copy the sorl directory (the one with the conf, data and bin
subdiretories) to the path you specified in the web.xml
Repackage the war and redeploy, that should do it :)
