Hi Roger,

Nice blog. A couple of questions:

+ "Each host has their own deployment dir". You can specify on which
virtual-server you want to deploy by adding the --virtualservers CLI
command. Combined with the --deploydir command, I suspect you can
achieve the same as Tomcat.
+ "Configure same webapp differently". Hum...how do you do that in Tomcat?
+ "Each host has a jailed manager". Why do you need such isolation?
GlassFish's Admin gui isn't giving you what you want?
+ "Each host has their own authentication realm".....right :-(

If you have a chance, I would recommend you file RFEs in Issue Tracker.
This will help us pushing the idea internally :-)

Thanks
