Solr3 and solr4 side by side in tomcat on windows

Hi to everyone, I've a solr3.6 server up and running, now I wish to install solr4 on the same machine and if possible in side-by-side configuration. (tomcat on Windows) Is it possible and is there some documentation on how to do this? Thanks a lot. Gian Maria.

You will need to create a context XML file for each Solr instance to tell it
where to find its indexes (aka solr_home). Obviously, each Solr instance
will want a different one.

See:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat#Installing_Solr_instances_under_Tomca
t

Note that it says to create a file in
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/solr-example.xml, you should replace
'solr-example' with whatever you name your webapps.

Just deploy Solr4 in the running tomcat and configure another context.
You can copy the whole Solr3.6 config over, but have to do some 
tweaking, obviously.

Catalina.out will guide you the way ;)

Also it is not recommended to use the "old" index from 3.6 but do a 
fresh reindexing of your docs.
