In my case, the first time I had to deploy and configure solr on tomcat (and jboss) it was a requirement to reuse as much as possible the application/web server already in place. The next deployment I also use tomcat, because I was used to deploy on tomcat and I don't know jetty at all.
I could ask the same question with regard to jetty. Why use/bundle(/ if not recommend) jetty with solr over other webserver solutions? Regards, Roland Everaert.
