I agree.
Normally, when you embed Tomcat (as GlassFish does), you instantiate
an instance of org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded, through which you
set up your Tomcat object hierarchy (engines, connectors, virtual
servers, contexts, etc.).
In GlassFish, we've extended org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded by
this class: com.sun.enterprise.web.EmbeddedWebContainer, which is
our window into our version of Tomcat.
As Jeanfrancois mentioned, we've extended Tomcat left and right, so
embedding an out-of-the-box Tomcat into GlassFish will be difficult if
not impossible.
