Maven archetype
Hi to everybody.
Im not going to say that im new in solr, but im new in solr.
I been googling a lot of things to start with solr, but i would like to
know if there is a maven archetype for the 4.6 version (to deploy in
tomcat).
Also i would like to know (based in best practices) what the comunity
recommends about solr deployment, if is better to use a solr home directory
or use just a war inside tomcat instalation with all the configuration
inside.
Thanks and regards
Erwin

Hi Erwin;
If you want to run Solr within a servlet container and if you are new to
Solr you should examine the example folder of Solr. Run it and configure
its files. You can start reading from here:
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/4_6_0/tutorial.html If you look at that
example you can customize it for a Solr instance according to your needs.
On the other hand if you don't want to have problems to open Solr project
within your ide you can run *ant eclipse* or *ant idea* command (eclipse
for Eclipse and idea is for Intellij IDEA) under lucene-solr folder. This
will setup configuration files for your ide.
However if you want to run Solr as a maven project instead of using ant you
can read here:
http://www.petrikainulainen.net/programming/maven/running-solr-with-maven/ It
explains running Solr with maven. Example is for Solr 4.3.0
If you have any problems you can ask it.
Thanks;

Hi Andrea,
i been looking for a archetype because i am using eclipse and the specific
solr config must be easy to deploy (now we are using maven), mvn package
mvn assembly or simliars, the idea is leave solr config easy to package and
well stored on svn.
I saw that is a very common way to use solr server create a solr home and
store all xml and properties config in there , it is the common way to use
solr server?
regards
Erwin

Hi,
if you want to deploy the SOLR war on tomcat you should do once so why
do you need a maven archetype? You can just get the war from the website
and deploy to your server.
If you need to use maven because you are, for example, developing in
eclipse and you want to just launch jetty:run and have your
configuration, jetty and solr up and ready you could add the solr war
dependency to your pom.xml and appropriately configure your maven-jetty
plugin
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.solr</groupId>
<artifactId>solr</artifactId>
<version>4.6.0</version>
</dependency>
My personal experience on SOLR: the servlet engine where you deploy SOLR
is not very important, assuming you are choosing one of the most popular
(Jetty, Tomcat, JBoss, WebLogic)...personally, since SOLR is a war, I
would prefer a simple servlet engine instead of an application server
(e.g. JBoss, WebSphere, Geronimo, Weblogic) because you dont need (if
you don't need) all beautiful and complex things that those monsters
carry on...
Best,
Andrea
