I want to set up an application called solr to run on tomcat. I have a problem with a property I need to set so that the application will run correctly: I don't understand the instructions for the tomcat setup.
From the "solr on tomcat setup guide":
-------------------------------------------------------------- Configuring Solr Home with JNDI A Tomcat context fragments can be used to configure the JNDI property needed to specify your Solr Home directory. Just put a context fragment file under $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost that looks something like this... $ cat /tomcat55/conf/Catalina/localhost/solr.xml <Context docBase="f:/solr.war" debug="0" crossContext="true" > <Environment name="solr/home" type="java.lang.String" value="f:/my/solr/home" override="true" /> </Context> Note that, for Tomcat 5.5 and later, the war file must bt stored outside of the webapps directory for this to work. Otherwise, this Context element is ignored. Configuring Solr Home with JNDI A Tomcat context fragments can be used to configure the JNDI property needed to specify your Solr Home directory.

Furthermore, the application will be deployed in a hosted environment so I will have very limited possibilities with regard to editing server.xml and other system wide settings. Any suggestions are very welcome.
