Is there any documentation that explains using Jetty as embedded or not? I use Solr deployed at Tomcat but after you message I will consider about Jetty. If we think about other issues i.e. when I want to update my Solr jars/wars etc.(this is just an foo example) does any pros and cons Tomcat or Jetty has?
The Jetty in the example is only 'embedded' in the sense that you don't have to install it separately. It is not special -- the Jetty components are not changed at all, a subset of them is just included in the Solr download with a tuned configuration file.
If you go to www.eclipse.org/jetty and download the latest stable-8 version, you'll see some familiar things - start.jar, an etc directory, a lib directory, and a contexts directory. They have more in them than the example does -- extra functionality Solr doesn't need. If you want to start the downloaded version, you can use 'java -jar start.jar' just like you do with Solr.
Thanks, Shawn
