Jetty, Tomcat or JBoss?
Hi all,
I have a web application which is basically a (user) search interface
towards SOLR.
My index is something like 7GB and has a lot of records so apart other
things like optiming SOLR schema, config ,clustering etc... I'd like to
keep SOLR installation as light as possible.
At the moment my SOLR instance is running under JBoss but I saw that
running under the bundled Jetty it takes a very little amount of memory
(at least at startup and after one hour of usage)
So my questions is: since SOLR is using JEE web components what are the
drawback of using the following architecture?
-My Application (Full JEE application with web components and EJB) on JBoss;
- SOLR on Jetty or Tomcat
Having said that and supposing that the idea is good, what are the main
differences / advantages / disadvamtages (from this point of view)
between Tomcat and Jetty?
Best Regards,
Andrea

Solr only uses Servlet and JSP.

Hi,
may be you should be aware that JBoss AS is using Tomcat for web container
(with modified classloader), so if your web application is running inside
JBoss AS then it is in fact running in Tomcat.
I don't think Solr uses JEE technologies provided by JEE Application server
(JMS, Transaction services, pooling services, clustered EJB... etc...). All
it requires is web container AFAIK. This being said it will always take
longer for application server to start and it will require more resources as
opposed to lightweight web container.
Regards,
Lukas
