Hi, I have up to now focussed on Jetty as it's already bundled with solr. The main issue there seems to be the way it's unbundled by Debian; I figure things might be similar with Tomcat, depending on how entangled configuration is there.
Before I dig deeper into the Tomcat option: would you mind sending me the script you mention? Maybe that could clear up things a bit.
