Hi James, Most of our customers use Tomcat or Jetty. We use Jetty for http://search-lucene.com/ . Both containers have commercial support available. We are very happy with Jetty and never needed tech support (jinx!). Some of our customers use JBoss for reasons similar to yours (company already pays for its support, so why not just throw Solr in there). My experience with JBoss is 5+ years old and back then I really disliked it, to put it mildly - undocumented, flaky, tons of knobs to configure, big, etc. I'm sure it has improved since then.
