Hi Alex, Why not just use two webapps and not use EmbeddedSolrServer, but do all your indexing as requests from your application to the Solr context next door?
One advantage of doing it this way is that EmbeddedSolrServer has been deemphasized by the Solr team, so you might not get the maintenance you need to keep this system going.
