Running an old servlet with Tomcat 7.0.16 embedded API

[Benson Margulies <bi...@gmail.com>]

Ranier,

I've now demonstrated that this is not about 'deferred launch' but
rather about an old servlet failing to be configured with the embedded
Tomcat class.

https://github.com/bimargulies/Tomcat-Solr-Test-Case

has been simplified. It makes the few required calls to set up the
Tomcat object. Then it calls addWebapp for the solr webapp, and it
failed with an NPE, due to the lack of the 'jsp' servlet from the
usual global web.xml.

The test cases you mentioned didn't bear on this case at all, I'll
look for some others.
