A while back, I added the wares plugin, which basically allows to deploy elasticsearch as a servlet. The plugin is here: [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/tree/master/plugins/transport/wares](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/tree/master/plugins/transport/wares), and the NodeServlet is here: [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/plugins/transport/wares/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/wares/NodeServlet.java](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/plugins/transport/wares/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/wares/NodeServlet.java) . Why its not officially out yet? Basically, its missing a few things: 1. The plugin should also have a sample web.xml configuration. 2. The plugin, when installed, should have a package script (sh and bat) that will create a sample war file out of the wares jar, the elasticsearch lib jars and the sample web.xml config. So, someone up to the task of the above two points? (mainly aimed at JVM developers 🙂 ). ---

If I understood, you want to create a simple webapp with ES embedded. So, if It's what you ask for, why is it a plugin ? I would suggest to create a maven ES webapp archetype that will create a full new project that every user can modify and build and deploy. What do you think ? Did I misunderstood the use case ?

Two reasons why its a plugin: 1. Its simple to have it as a transport plugin since it gets published to maven automatically. 2. The idea of installing the plugin, and then, using the provided scripts I purposed in my first mail, build an "only" elasticsearch war module.

Hi Shay, After reading the code of the Servlet, I found that you only had one internal node instantiated. Would you mind giving me some hint on how to search based on the servlet? I found that it only supported GET method. If I use PUT, POST, I shall get an error. I get the latest code from github the day before yesterday. If you don't mind, I can try to write a script to create war.

Why would there be a need for more than one Node (per JVM)?
