copied!<p>Using Solr in your project doesn't require that you have a Java stack for running the actual Rails app. There are <a href="http://github.com/search?langOverride=&language=rb&q=solr&repo=&start_value=1&type=Repositories&x=26&y=19" rel="nofollow noreferrer">quite a few Ruby libraries</a> out there that would help you easily interface with the Solr backend. A few to look at:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://wiki.apache.org/solr/solr-ruby" rel="nofollow noreferrer">solr-ruby</a> – This is the official client library included with the Solr distribution. It's lower-level than some of the other alternatives, but gives you some good flexibility in accomplishing what you need to.</li> <li><a href="http://github.com/mwmitchell/rsolr/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">rsolr</a> – Another lower-level library that looks like a replacement to solr-ruby. At first glance it appears to be more frequently updated.</li> <li><a href="http://github.com/outoftime/sunspot/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">sunspot</a> – I have not used this, but it looks like it's currently the most popular Solr => Ruby object mapping library. The <a href="http://github.com/railsfreaks/acts_as_solr" rel="nofollow noreferrer">acts_as_solr</a> library was once an option, but I think that it has since fallen out of favor.</li> </ul> <p>I agree with the other posters that you would want to target a C Ruby / *NIX environment, but if using Tomcat/JRuby helps you learn this faster, go for it.</p>
